Data centers don’t hire many people, but due to the cost of outfitting them with costly equipment, the property taxes collected make them a catch for the local community. Blueprint Projects received incentives from the Taylor City Council for a $1 billion data center project on a 52-acre tract of land acquired in April from the Taylor Economic Development Corp. at 1601 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. The city will provide a 10-year, 50% rebate of taxes on the tangible property inside the development.
