# Canton Approves Data Center Tax Breaks

On November 2, 2026, Canton City Council approved three Community Reinvestment Area agreements for proposed data centers at Millerton Street and Central Avenue SE, Georgetown Road NE, and Trump Avenue and Orchard View Drive SE. The agreements provide 75% property-tax abatements—two for 30 years and one for 15 years—and are projected to generate an estimated $62.5 million in service payments to the city over 30 years. The projects may create downstream construction and trade work, but the announcement identifies no solicitation or procurement contact.

- Contractors and suppliers in data-center construction and the skilled trades may find future project-related opportunities; the signal does not establish that bids are open or identify a procurement schedule.
- The agreements support proposed development through long-term tax incentives and service payments in lieu of property taxes, a local economic-development structure relevant to firms evaluating municipal project pipelines.
- Companies interested in potential work can use the named project locations and DAMAC’s developer role to identify the projects, while recognizing that no procurement channel is specified in the announcement.
