Michigan is working to attract data centers to the state

Legislators in Michigan have approved tax breaks designed to attract data centers to the state.

But the lawmakers were divided on the idea. Bridge Michigan reports that the breaks, approved by the state house, will cost the state $90 million in lost taxes through 2065 with the hopes of enticing major tech companies to build multi-billion dollar server farms in the state.

Each data center operator would be required to invest at least 250 million dollars and create 30 jobs paying 150% of local median wage.

A companion bill in the state Senate has also passed.
