The Osage County Commission discuss data center.

 

The main topic of discussion was the commission approving Assessor Ed Quinton putting his signature on the Project Spring data center tax incentive agreement. This is something Quinton didn't want the commissioners to do. He says by signing this, the county would be losing out on tax dollars.

 

Quinton says the people in charge of Project Spring don't need help with the county at the moment, but that could potentially change. District Two Commissioner Steve Talburt says there is due to an ongoing lawsuit because the area the potential project sits on is being disputed if it really belongs to the City of Sand Springs.

 

Quinton says the data center is able to skirt by without having to pay a tax bill.  Talburt says he is strongly against having anything to do with the tax incentive project.  The commissioners decided against having Quinton's signature on the Project Spring data center tax incentive agreement.
