Doesn’t matter how many different articles IBJ writes to split this story and keep the public comments away, this is still a bad deal for Franklin Township, Marion County, Central Indiana, and the State of Indiana. Few jobs, lots of environmental issues, and little property tax revenue (even if Google does pony up the $1M annually discussed in another article). Mr. Dillon’s dad is spinning in his grave…I’m sure he can’t imagine his son supporting such blatant corporate give aways…
a tech center? Please…they’re building a big warehouse in which to operate networked computers. And that will need to be powered by a new electrical generating source, which will likely lead to serious environmental impacts as they figure out where to get the cooling water, where to dispose of the heated water, and how to control the various bacteria that grow in that heated water. And I suspect that bacteria will just be discharged into the ground water or a local creek, to feed a local stream, to feed the White River. As we all know, there’s nothing the White River needs more than additional source points of pollution and bacterial infection.
I agree there’s a little benefit to these data center projects. Aside from the initial construction there’s very very few jobs beyond that. They’re usually relatively low paying. Meanwhile, they consume enormous amounts of energy, which, never mind the environmental impact those significant, but who bears the cost of ramping up generating facilities sufficient to power them? The answer is the every day consumer of electrical power.
Agreed, glad to see Councilor Hart representing his district well in opposition. Hopefully, he will call it up to council for a vote.
These data centers are paying 10x or more for land acquisition. Absolutely don’t see need for any property tax abatement. These developers want these data centers at just about any coat. Energy consumption major problem. Indiana is pulling plug on solar.
This is a good project for Indianapolis. I hope it gets passed
I’m curious, Brian, how this is a good project for Indy? What benefit does it bring? How will Indy, and Franklin Township in particular, be a better place to live because of this and other similar projects? I’m open to being educated on this, because right now I see this as a massive burden on the impacted communities.
I base this, in part, on speaking with a friend who lives and works in a state that doesn’t support these projects. He and his company are presently working on how to process the hot/warm water discharge to kill off the bacteria that flourish in that water before it is discharged. They’re not having a lot of success yet. Until that issue is worked out by someone, we’re talking about lots of bacteria-infested water being discharged into ground water or local waterways. I’m not sure of the impact, but I fear a return to Fall Creek before the Feds required Indy to clean up that open sewer.
Tim, you should attend the CC Council meeting and speak about the water and bacterial issues, no one else will, in fact it will be avoided by Google and city staff.
Massive mistake. This has literally zero economic upside for the region and will raise out taxes and power bills to provide a dozen jobs.
This might even be a negative economic impact long term if the promise of AI replacing jobs comes true. Less working hoosiers equals less tax income.
“the facility could employ up to 400 once the campus is fully developed ‘ – So realistically about 150 jobs.
IF they can find 150 people willing to clean such a place…and by the way, that’s for the entire campus…this building is to employ about 50. and not be fully employed unti 2030. Other buildings to follow won’t be in place until much later…
Another scam. Yes, they’ll build it somewhere. Let’s send them a map with someplace like Southern Illinois highlighted.
These data centers are unlikely to be bad neighbors – if they pay their fair share of electric and water needs – but I don’t think there’s enough good (jobs and economic impact) to warrant the significant tax abatement.
