PARKER, Colo. — Douglas County commissioners unanimously approved a tax rebate — business personal property tax (BPPT) rebate — worth an estimated $19 million over 35 years for a Parker data center expected to create 16 jobs, despite objections from residents who questioned whether the incentive is justified. "I have never been a fan of the business personal property tax," Laydon said while attending the meeting virtually. "It's a property tax on things that just don't make a whole lot of sense, and it impedes business. And we have always had the practice of when a particular entity reaches out to us for a waiver of business personal property tax, that we do so." ► Watch Tyler Melito's report in the video below:DougCo commissioners approve Business Personal Property Tax rebate for Parker data centerDouglas County Commissioner George Teal said any business that applies for this rebate will be approved.
