About This Metro

Virginia Data Center Tax Incentives

Sales and use tax abatements are available to data centers that have a minimum investment of $150 million, hire at least 50 new employees and pay at least 150 percent of the prevailing wage. Changes to the law made since its introduction made colocation data center tenants eligible for the tax abatements, as well, aggregating their equipment purchases, investments and new hires to meet the capital investment requirements of the law. If the unemployment rate of the locality where the data center is constructed is 150 percent of the state average the new hire requirement drops to 25 people.
