Source of Data: The estimated value and the breakdown of the subsidy package as well as the jobs and investment data were taken from: Carrie Ghose, "Speaking of Amazon, billion-dollar data farms become Midwest cash crop," Columbus Business First (Ohio), August 29, 2014. Local subsidies are taken from: Earl Rinehart, "Development; Amazon subsidiary closing in on Dublin site," The Columbus Dispatch (Ohio), February 27, 2015. Steve Wartenberg, "Development; New Albany likely site of Amazon data center," The Columbus Dispatch (Ohio), May 19, 2015. Both via Nexis.com.
Notes: The Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved Vadata Inc, an Amazon.com affiliate, for an estimated $93.7 million subsidy package that will be paid over several years for three data centers located in Dublin, Hilliard and New Albany. The company will be exempt for 15 years from sales tax on the equipment and will receive a 75 percent credit on the state income tax withholding for jobs created at the facility. Dublin offered free land valued at $6.8 million and a 10-year $500,000 performance-based grant. Hilliard provided a 15-year 100 percent property tax abatement estimated at $5.4 million over the period. New Albany also offered 100 percent tax abatements for 15 years whose value has not been estimated. Jobs are estimated new jobs. Investment is the projected cost of the facility.
