What the record does not establish, and the document that would

  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • How the community has received it
Which document closes each gap
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
How the community has received it
Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.

Have one of these documents? Send it to us and we will add it to the record with attribution.
