My name is Gem Bingol, I live in Leesburg and I support HB641 and HB897 and ask for your support as well. Thank you.

Data centers have taken extensive advantage of the sales and use tax exemption. We can’t afford to keep subsidizing them as they use up our power and water. This bill requires the data centers to give something back and add to the grid to get the tax credit. There are multiple technologies available to these data centers, including energy storage and renewables, even storage of biofuels, which is not fossil carbon. This will help stop the tax giveaway and benefit all Virginia families
