Saline Township in Michigan has granted a full tax break for Oracle's $43 billion data center project, marking a swift reversal of an earlier decision. The move comes after the township's initial attempt to limit the tax break, a 'gambit to appease angry residents,' lasted only three days. The data center, known as 'The Barn,' is under construction and is being developed by Related Companies for use by both Oracle and OpenAI. The decision ensures the project receives the full financial incentives, despite local opposition that prompted the township's brief reconsideration.
