The Executive Vice President of a coalition advocating for data center development says reversing course on incentives in Illinois could have “detrimental” economic consequences.
Last week, Governor J.B. Pritzker told the Aspen Climate Summit he reversed course on offering tax exemptions to data centers to send a message that developers need to address concerns.
Data Centers Coalition Vice President Dan Diorio says that’s what developers are doing. He worries such a move will backfire.
Restricting tax credits in Illinois adds to other hurdles going up across the country, something Diorio said could discourage investment for data center development in the U.S.
