> Property Tax revenue

Property Tax revenue is surprisingly tiny from data centers in Quebec. Some how DCs have low assessment for the building, like way lower then their resale value even.

> they are not a drain on services like schools, roads, fire department, police department etc.

Police - definitely not.

Roads on other hand, DCs are hauling new equipment / decommissioned equipment daily.

I'm in fact in favor of DCs, but tax revenue from them is not impressive at all. At least in Quebec.
