SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A crucial vote on a Utah plan to lure a Facebook data center with up to $240 million in tax breaks will be postponed at least a week.
Several cities and school districts were set to meet Monday to vote on whether to join forces to offer the tax incentives, but documents released Friday show the meeting has been canceled.
It's tentatively rescheduled for the following week.
The Salt Lake City suburb of West Jordan is competing with Los Lunas, New Mexico to attract the facility. Energy regulators in both states have signed off on the plan.
Utah leaders and residents have been divided on the tax breaks. Critics say the incentives are too generous for a facility would create few jobs, but supporters argue it would still generate revenue and carry Facebook cache.
