Tom Frantz Co-Authors Op-Ed on Preserving Virginia’s Data Center Incentives

Tom Frantz, partner in Williams Mullen’s Corporate Section, co-authored an op-ed in The Virginian-Pilot that examines the potential economic and policy implications of repealing Virginia’s sales-and-use tax exemption on data center equipment. The piece discusses how the exemption has helped position the Commonwealth as a hub for digital infrastructure investment and explores the risks associated with moving the expiration date of the program forward. The article also highlights considerations for lawmakers as they evaluate policies affecting the state’s position in the digital infrastructure sector.
