Hillsboro data center tax incentives spark scrutiny before statewide moratorium

Hillsboro residents are scrutinizing the city's approval of long-term data center tax abatements just before a statewide moratorium on new incentives takes effect. Community members express frustration over transparency and suggest the city is fast-tracking agreements for companies like NVIDIA and NTT, raising concerns about impacts on water and the power grid. A local moratorium is also being considered by the City Council.
