The Metropolitan Development Commission of Marion County on Wednesday approved tax abatements related to a nearly $29 million
investment that information technology firm Lightbound LLC plans to make in a new data center and equipment.
Lightbound plans to construct the 50,000-square-foot, $24 million data center at 650 W. Henry St. near Kentucky Avenue on
the southwest side of Indianapolis.
Further, it plans to spend $4.9 million on new computer hardware, and telecommunications and related information technology
equipment.
Lightbound expects the investment will create 35 jobs with an average wage of $24.76 per hour and will retain 32 jobs at
an average wage of $22.97 an hour.
The Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development estimates the investments will result in an increase to the tax base
of about $18.7 million of assessed value.
The nine-year abatements should save Lightbound a total of $2.5 million, the department said.
