Apple easily won approval from the Reno City Council on Wednesday for a new agreement allowing it to take advantage of millions of dollars in sales tax abatements as it works to double the size of its massive data center east of Reno.
Only Councilwoman Jenny Brekhus voted against the agreement that will allow Apple to buy land in downtown Reno instead of lease it to be eligible for a tax break that will bring its sales tax rate down to 0.5 percent.
