Gov: Gov. Hobbs, Arizona State Legislature

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs announced that a 13-year-old tax incentive for data centers has been eliminated as part of the state's budget. Governor Hobbs, who previously voted for the incentive as a legislator, highlighted that Arizona is a top market for data centers.

She stated that stopping the tax incentive will provide a crucial period for important conversations. The goal is to develop a policy that ensures data centers are working to benefit Arizonans, rather than the other way around.
