@bryanpazhernandezny: Representatives of EKG Group, the developers behind the proposed Kenwood Data Center project in Albany, have disclosed details of a property tax settlement with the City of Albany that they say reduced the property's assessed value from $18 million to $3 million, a staggering 83% reduction. Under the terms described by EKG Group, the property's assessed land value has been reduced to $3 million and will remain fixed through 2031, a very, very sweet deal for them. The developers said the agreement was negotiated directly with the city. The developers wrongfully argued the new $3 million assessment was a more realistic reflection of the property's fair market value. #KenwoodDataCenter #Datacenters #Albany #AlbanyNY #propertyvalue
Crazy. Literally the only value of a data center is the property taxes. They barely create any jobs and I bet most of the people working there won’t be from or even move to Albany.

And in case you didn’t know, but Albany has always had on their books a huge tax break for the first 10 years of a new company or business coming in, so yeah, they’re doing good

Yet they’re trying to implement tax laws for people that live outside of the city of Albany and commute in for work… maybe they need to actually appropriately tax corporations

How are they doing this while there is a statewide moratorium on data centers? Is this a data center for something that is exempt?

less than a quarter of a mile from my back door, I could see the flames when the old school there burnt down, and that was probably no accident. I need to sell my house before its to late.

Wonder if the Albany politicians are getting kickbacks. It would be interesting to see politicians net worth before and after taking office.

This is the way to run deeper into debt. You give up so much revenue and put all the infrastructure burden on the citizens.

And they’re laughing bc all the costs get picked up by the tax paying regular citizens. Energy costs here are out of control! The poor get stuff for free the rich get stuff for free. The middle class is BROKEN. We cannot carry the burden anymore
