    1. Very fair point. I changed the story to say that “AWS said it plans to create … .” That’s what we should have said initially. Thanks for pointing that out.

  1. Always negative Murray R strikes again. Where’s Lauren? I’m sure she’s got some negative thoughts to share. By the way, if you Hoosiers elect a Braun or Doden or Hill, don’t expect any more announcements such as these in the next 4 years. Crouch might be okay. Chambers would definitely be the best for the IN business community.

  2. Maybe the next question from reporters should be where are these people going to come from & if they aren’t local where are they going to live…

    1. That should be the question for all of these high tech data centers and auto plants. There aren’t enough skilled Hoosiers to fill these jobs. And when schools such as Purdue only enroll approximately 50% of their total students from in-state – compounded by the fact that its Engineering, Technology and Computer Science programs make up an even smaller percentage of that 50% – it’s a given that many of the highly-skilled jobs will go to people from outside of Indiana.

      And what happens when people relocate from high-cost areas to lower-cost areas with a lack of available housing? They drive up demand for housing and with their higher incomes can afford to pay more for housing, driving up the cost for existing residents.

  3. Other than the Financial incentives, what makes Indiana or this region attractive for this type of investment? Best to have your AI datacenter in the middle of the country? Low power rates? Very interesting good news for the community
