Approval of Connecticut tax credits for data center bypassed required review

State auditors found that Connecticut's DECD commissioner bypassed a required review process to approve significant tax credits for Cigna Corp's data center in Windsor. Cigna received over $17 million in credits for an $863 million investment, creating only five jobs. A bill to eliminate this tax credit program stalled in the recent legislative session, amidst growing public and municipal opposition to data center development in the state.
