Hawley Introduces Legislation to Strip Opportunity Zone Tax Breaks for Data Centers
Senator Josh Hawley announced legislation intended to exclude data centers from Opportunity Zone tax incentives. The proposed No Tax Breaks for Data Centers Act would change the definitions of qualifying businesses and property to prevent eligibility for data-center purchases or construction.
Hawley's announcement argues that the incentive was intended to support low-income communities and should not subsidize these projects. It says other eligible businesses and property would retain access to the program. The release describes an introduced bill and the senator's policy position; it does not establish that the proposed exclusion has become law.

- Is this a policy update, a project announcement, or a fund-specific development?
- Which project milestones, financing needs, sponsor assumptions, and current legal requirements need further review?
