Impact analysis
The tax revenue might help, but water and power demands could stick Moorhead with infrastructure costs that outweigh the payoff.
Data center developers and, potentially, local taxpayers benefit if the new tax revenue outpaces the city’s added costs.
Residents and utility ratepayers could get stuck with higher costs or strained water and power systems if the city isn’t careful.
