Ford Pauses Data Center Tax Breaks | Las Vegas News

Nevada’s gubernatorial race just got a lot hotter as Aaron Ford unveils a bold new platform targeting data centers—pausing new tax breaks until the state audits whether they’re truly benefiting Nevadans. He’s pushing for stricter oversight, banning certain cooling systems, and demanding companies prove their economic impact before getting more incentives. While his opponent supports data center growth, Ford positions himself as the candidate willing to challenge big tech, even calling out a political action committee linked to the current governor that received major funding from a data center giant. His plan includes auditing every existing deal and potentially rewriting state law to ensure transparency—and he’s not stopping development outright, but insisting it be done responsibly, with fair wages and community benefits.
