Evidence

What the evidence supports

Ohio Revised Code §122.175 still supplies the eligibility framework: at least $100 million in project investment and at least $1.5 million in annual qualifying payroll, with agreement and annual verification requirements. It authorizes a complete or partial sales-and-use-tax exemption for qualifying data-center equipment. It does not by itself mean a qualifying project pays no taxes, and it does not repeal existing agreements. Whether new exemption requests remain paused is a separate claim (ohio-exemption-pause).

Still unknown

Net fiscal result of any named project; whether a named project complied with or received an exemption.
