Meta data center expected to become city of El Paso’s largest property taxpayer
Meta's $10 billion data center in El Paso is expected to become the city's largest property taxpayer, generating an estimated $15 million annually for the city. While Meta received significant tax abatements, the El Paso City Council recently voted to cease offering incentives for future hyperscale data centers, citing environmental concerns and a misalignment with sustainability goals. This policy shift reflects community opposition and a desire to balance economic development with environmental and infrastructure resilience.
