North Carolina politicians are currently trying to push a change to corporate tax law in the hopes that the breaks will woo Apple into creating a billion dollar server farm in the state. The Charlotte Observer reports that an anonymous official confirmed that Apple was the company the state is going after, as it was previously unclear who the changes were tailored for.

The breaks could be worth an estimated $46 million over 10 years and are apparently "very specific to the project," according to one unnamed representative. The bill has already passed through the North Carolina Senate and is slated to hit the House floor today. If the House approves the bill, it would then go to the governor's desk.

The Apple project would only qualify for the tax break if it is located in one of the poorer regions of North Carolina. The company must also provide health insurance, meet an unspecified "wage standard," and agree to declare itself ineligible for other tax breaks and grants from the state. The hope is to help curb unemployment, even if it is with a mere 100 full time jobs that the Apple server farm would initially offer.
