Turner cites New York Governor Kathy Hochul's decision to halt datacenter permits for up to a year while creating a regulatory framework, and notes that a Rockland County datacenter received $77 million in tax breaks but created only one permanent job. He references a Virginia study showing datacenters produce minimal permanent employment despite the state hosting more datacenters than any other.
“This step came after a datacenter in Rockland county received $77m in tax breaks and created only one permanent job – the largest taxpayer subsidy relative to jobs created in United States history.”
