“Data centers will employ very few permanent jobs for a sizable tax giveaway,” Lucas said Tuesday. “This is imperative to encourage responsible growth in the commonwealth to protect our electric grid and natural resources, while also ensuring hardworking Virginians are not asked to pick up higher utility costs to fund a higher share of our existing core services.”

This is not a published finding.

It records a human-approved public workflow status. No factual verdict should be inferred.
