Democratic Candidate For Governor Alexis Hill hosts a town hall about data centers

Democratic Candidate for Governor Alexis Hill held a town hall in Reno, Nevada, at the National Automobile Museum to discuss data centers. Hill highlighted that data centers are a significant issue on her campaign trail since her September announcement, noting that residents in the region frequently express concerns at public events. Hill, who is currently the Chair of Washoe County's Commissioners, stated her intention to lay out policies for handling data centers in Nevada. She is calling for more state-level policy and regulations, asserting that the state needs to properly regulate data centers and ensure they pay their fair share. Currently, data centers in Nevada receive approximately 75% tax abatements on their personal property tax for a decade to 20 years and do not pay sales tax. Hill indicated plans to implement executive orders to address these issues, though the transcript cut off before fully detailing the scope of these orders.
