The state Legislature begins its final week of sessions before the Christmas break, with much of the Grand Rapids media's attention centered on bills that would give tax exemptions for data centers. This would clear the way for Switch to bring what it calls a five billion-dollar, thousand-job operation into the former Steelcase pyramid building southeast of the Calder City.

'It's do or die' as Michigan competes for data centers
2015-12-10 20:24:42| Furniture - Topix.net
West Michigan could lose its best chance to land a new industry - data storage centers - if the state legislature and Gov. Rick Snyder fumble legislation that would create tax incentives to locate here, said Birgit Klohs, president and CEO of The Right Place Inc. "It's do or die," said Klohs, who is trying to land Nevada-based Switch to locate a giant data center in the former Steelcase pyramid in Gaines Township. "If we lose this one, we won't just lose a project, we'll lose our place in the lineup."

Michigan data centers want same tax breaks Switch is demanding
2015-12-07 15:26:31| Furniture - Topix.net
As state legislators debate tax breaks requested by a Nevada firm that wants to build a giant data center in Gaines Township, no one is watching the action more closely than the data center operators who are already here. Members of the Michigan Data Center Alliance want to make sure they're treated equally if Nevada-based Switch gets tax breaks it is requesting in exchange for creating 1,000 jobs and investing $5 billion in the former Steelcase pyramid.
