Just before moratorium, two last Ohio data centers get a $42 million tax break
Ohio officials approved a $42.3 million tax exemption for two Cologix data center projects in Delaware and Licking counties, days before Governor Mike DeWine announced a pause on new data center tax exemptions statewide. The pause, enacted by the Ohio Tax Credit Authority, comes amidst growing scrutiny over the high cost of these tax breaks and the environmental and electrical grid impacts of data centers. A special legislative committee is holding hearings on the issue.
