Denver, CO, August 11, 2026 —
Parker, CO – Douglas County Commissioners have given the green light to a significant tax incentive package for a Flexential data center located in Parker. The approved measure includes a $19 million tax rebate extending over a 35-year period, specifically targeting the business personal property tax.
The agreement is projected to foster the creation of 16 new jobs within the county as a direct result of the data center’s expansion or operation facilitated by the incentive. Flexential, a provider of data center solutions, will benefit from this rebate, which aims to support its business interests in the region.
The decision, however, was not without its detractors. Several residents voiced concerns during the commission’s deliberation, questioning the rationale behind offering such a substantial, long-term tax break. Objections centered on the justification for the incentive and potential long-term ramifications for the county’s tax base and community resources.
The specifics of the tax rebate apply to business personal property tax. Further details regarding the exact structure of the rebate and its phased implementation were not immediately available. The county commissioners’ approval marks a key step in the financial arrangement between Douglas County and Flexential.
