Tax breaks & subsidies
source: Good Jobs First / GASB 77No per-deal tax break is linked to this site yet. No state discloses the recipient of a data-center abatement at the facility level, so per-site deals are rare in the public record. If you have a development agreement or board resolution for this site, send it to us.
Wyoming reported $15.2M in Sales/use tax exemption for qualifying data processing services centers (W.S. § 39-15-105(a)(viii)(S)) for FY2021 (Wyoming Department of Revenue, Excise Tax Division (report to Joint Revenue Interim Committee)). Program-wide, not attributable to this site.
Water use
No measured record exists, so this is a low-confidence model from 1,800 MW (disclosed IT power): 1.2 L/kWh cooling (cool climate) + 0.45 gal/kWh embedded in US grid average. How we estimate. Have a utility document? Send it and we'll replace this with the real figure.
