Lawsuit filed against Hillsboro, Washington County over data center tax breaks

Advocacy groups including 1000 Friends of Oregon and the Oregon Education Association, along with Hillsboro Councilor Kipperlyn Sinclair, have filed a lawsuit against Hillsboro and Washington County. The suit seeks to overturn enterprise zone tax exemption agreements for data centers tied to companies like NVIDIA and CoreWeave, arguing these breaks divert public funds from schools and services. These tax breaks were approved shortly before a statewide moratorium on new data center incentives took effect in Oregon.
