Colorado lawmakers are considering a bill that would grant data center developers a 100% exemption from state sales and use taxes for 20 years, provided they make a $250 million investment and create jobs. The proposal has drawn criticism from environmental groups concerned about increased energy demand, while a competing bill seeks to ensure that energy needs are met with clean sources. This debate underscores Colorado's lack of tax incentives for data centers compared to other states, with proponents arguing for the necessity of these incentives to attract investment.
