Source of Data: Mike Rogoway, "Amazon secures $1 billion in tax breaks for five new data centers in eastern Oregon," The Oregonian/OregonLive. May 10, 2023. (click here)
Notes: Morrow county, city, and the Port Authority approved Amazon for estimated $1 billion in property tax exemption over 15 years for five new data centers (referred to in public documents as Resolution 2023-4 CREZ III). The subsidy comes via Enterprise Zone program, which requires 10 jobs to be created; however it was not disclosed how many jobs the company will actually create. Mike Rogoway at The Oregonian/OregonLive documents conflict of interest between a few public officials and the company (Mike Rogoway, "How leaders in a small Oregon town positioned themselves for an Amazon 'windfall,'" The Oregonian/OregonLive. September 2, 2022, (click here)). Overlaps with main data: none
