Rep. Dina Titus urges Lombardo to pause data center tax breaks on federal land
U.S. Rep. Dina Titus is urging Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo to pause tax abatements for data centers proposed on federal land, including one in Boulder City. This request comes amidst growing opposition to the Boulder City project, primarily due to concerns over its power and water demands and environmental impacts. Titus wants state lawmakers to review the issue during the 2027 legislative session before more incentives are approved.
