Douglas County, Colorado, Supports Data Center Development with Tax Rebate
Douglas County is poised to approve a $19.3 million tax rebate for a new Flexential data center in Parker, which has already received unanimous approval from local planning and town councils. This approach contrasts sharply with other Colorado communities, including Denver, Jefferson, Boulder, Larimer, Broomfield, and Monument, which have enacted moratoriums on data center development due to public concerns over water and power usage. The Parker project plans to use a closed-loop liquid cooling system and secure power from an existing substation without increasing residential rates.
