The Port Authority of Kansas City voted to approve a $10 billion tax break for Google’s data center in the Kansas City Northland.

The Port KC development committee met on Monday where members voted to recommend up to $10 billion in bonds for Google’s planned data center codenamed Project Mica. Mica is a 500-acre, 1.56 million-square-foot site located northeast of Interstate 435 and U.S. Highway 169.

The project would house five data centers on the site. Additionally, the new data center could begin phased construction this year.

The recommended plan now awaits full approval from the Port KC Board of Commissioners. If approved the plan would provide a 75 percent tax abatement on the property for the next 25 years.

Last year Google announced it would expand its presence in Kansas City with a $1 billion data center at the Hunt Midwest Business Center, separate from Project Mica.
