The Latest: Utah plan to lure Facebook data center hits snag
A plan to lure a Facebook data center to Utah with $240 million in tax breaks is hitting a snag with a Salt Lake County decision to vote against it at a crucial meeting next week.
The unanimous council vote Tuesday places the county in opposition to project supporters in West Jordan, the Salt Lake City suburb vying against a New Mexico town to attract the facility that could go into service next year.
The Tuesday meeting comes before a crucial Aug. 22 vote in which several cities and school districts will decide whether to join forces and offer the social media giant some $240 million in tax breaks.
