## Resource

Ohio’s local governments are doling out massive property tax breaks to tech giants like Amazon, Meta, and Google, saving millions in taxes for data centers — but the cost may be shifting public funding burdens to schools and communities. While proponents tout these deals as vital for economic growth and job creation, critics warn they’re unsustainable and often paired with state-level exemptions. Some localities even receive direct payments from companies to offset lost revenue, but lawmakers are pushing for caps or bans. As big tech scales back its pursuit of these breaks, the future of Ohio’s incentive strategy hangs in the balance.
