Senator Moreno slams $4.5 million tax break for project creating 'only 10 jobs'
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno is calling on a global private equity firm to forgo $4.5 million in state tax breaks for a Northeast Ohio data center project that the Republican lawmaker says will create "only 10 jobs."
In a letter sent Monday to the Carlyle Group and the Ohio Department of Development, Moreno characterized the incentives for Ark Data Centers — a Carlyle-owned company — as a "sweetheart deal" for Wall Street that leaves Ohio taxpayers and utility customers footing the bill.
The Ohio Tax Credit Authority recently approved a 50% sales tax exemption for the company over the next decade to support a $136 million expansion of facilities in Akron and Independence.
