I think people are entitled to see studies showing what the data center will do to their community and not letting city/county/or state officials make the decision. We keep seeing huge facilities go in with tax abatements and promises of jobs and they do not keep their word on jobs. They do not improve the community, they often have a very negative effect. Acres of land under roof and cement cause huge environmental concerns that should be addressed with the community and then let them vote. Also, let them pay taxes from day one. If you want to abate someone's taxes, start with senior citizens who are being taxes out of their homes.
