American Tower Corporation and Digital Realty are not coming to Charlotte to give residents jobs.
They are coming because there's a gold rush in the AI industry and Charlotte is a target.
That means companies like Digital Realty pay no sales tax on construction materials, heavy infrastructure, computer hardware.
They are entirely exempt from taxes on the massive amounts of electricity required to run these facilities.
Your own state analyst said this is going to drain at least $50 million from our public tax collections in the first year.
To be direct, these companies are using our tax exemptions to build private infrastructure that serves private clients, generates private profit, and leaves Charlotte residents with a utility bill and nothing else.
No.
Please, please.
Mayor, members of council, Monday, June 1st,
I think four of your five committees, but you also have straw votes, and straw votes start at five.
Right.
So I just didn't know if you want this to butt up against straw votes like this, or do you just want it at the end of straw votes?
If it's the will of the council.
Whatever works.
I just didn't want us to meet tonight.
Yes, exactly.
No question.
Yes.
Hey, Todd.
Thank you.
