Intel, Amazon, Apple, Twitter and the parent companies of Facebook and Google cumulatively saved nearly $400 million last year. They benefitted from two Oregon programs that exempt Intel's factories, Amazon's warehouses and a constellation of data centers that stretch from Hillsboro to Hermiston. Individual cities and counties negotiate the tax breaks, seeking private investment that would otherwise go to other Oregon communities or to other states. Property tax exemptions helped attract billions of dollars in Intel investment to Hillsboro, wind farms in eastern Oregon and data centers in the state's suburbs and small towns.
