Wasco County Commissioners and The Dalles City Councilors talked about policy options for usage of certain Strategic Investment Program funds that Google will pay as a result of agreements reached in 2021 for development of two new data centers.  One idea presented by city and county officials that have done preliminary work on the topic is to create an endowment fund that could provide a funding source on an on-going basis.  County Administrative Officer Tyler Stone said with initial Google data center enterprise zone now on the tax rolls, and more to come over the next few years, all taxing districts are seeing financial benefits already.  Many of the Councilors and Commissioners noted they want to see what kind of valuations the state puts on the Google properties in the Strategic Investment Plan agreement, which has not happened yet.  A second joint meeting was set for July 23, with the intent to gather public input in the interim.
