Connecticut’s Data Center Tax Break Bet Isn’t Paying Off

Connecticut's data center tax break program, established in 2021, has seen limited success with only one company utilizing the incentive. State officials are assessing the program's efficacy, weighing concerns about high energy costs and minimal job creation. The initiative's failure to attract more data center development is leading to a reevaluation of its benefits.
