Congresswoman Challenges Data Center Tax Breaks | Reno News

Congresswoman Dina Titus is sounding the alarm over a controversial data center project on federal land in Boulder City, Nevada — the first of its kind approved on Bureau of Land Management property. She’s demanding Governor Joe Lombardo halt all data center tax breaks for federal land projects until the state legislature can craft clear rules, warning this could set a dangerous national precedent. The project, Townsite Solar 2 LLC, originally approved for $24 million in tax breaks for a solar and battery facility, pivoted to a data center — raising red flags. The Boulder City Council unanimously opposed the federal approval, lamenting lost local revenue and questioning the tax incentives. With Nevada’s data centers already enjoying $13.3 million in property tax breaks and $225.6 million in sales tax breaks, Titus insists these perks must be managed responsibly — especially on public land.
