To prohibit the provision of Federal financial benefit for the construction, expansion, or substantial rehabilitation of data centers on prime farmland and other certain farmland.
This bill prohibits federal agencies from providing any form of federal financial assistance or tax benefits for the construction, expansion, or major rehabilitation of data centers located on prime farmland and other designated agricultural land. The restriction applies to all projects that begin after the date the law is enacted. By defining "federal financial benefit" broadly to include grants, loans, tax credits, and deductions, the legislation aims to prevent public funds from supporting data center development in areas critical for food production.
