  1. Data centers are not good investments. They create few jobs, take huge amounts of resources, including land, energy, and water. So many better ways to spend this kind of money.

    1. completely agree, but seems to be the way the state is moving. Out with the corn, in with the data centers.

  2. If the state is going to truly make this a innovative development, waste water management and reuse would reduce the long term water needs and really make this a “LEAP” project. Starting a project this size from scratch opens up a whole realm of technological advances in infrastructure offerings.

  3. Which should beg – and should always have begged – the question: What could YOUR town do with a $60,000,000 handout from Uncle Eric? And why isn’t YOUR town being paved with gold like little Lebanon? “Because [water-poor] Lebanon is partway between hither and yon, strategically located on the magical new BS Corridor”? (ha haaa! Dupes! Patsies! Saps!) Now that Holcomb, the IEDC and it’s current & previous honchos, Mitch Daniels, etc etc have sold Hoosiers this bag of magic beans, despite the obvious answer to the questions going unasked by the IBJ, every other media outlet, Democrats, etc, Hoosiers deserve the reputation as the biggest suckers in U.S. history. It’s this simple, and most Hoosiers know that this (good ol’ boy deals) is how politics works in Indiana, yet nobody will talk about THE MAYOR’S DADDY, who “was the architect of the effort by Republicans to take back the Indiana Statehouse after years of Democrat rule.”

    1. Sure, blame the media and the Democrats. Here’s the reality – most of Indiana, which is bleeding population every which way, benefits from the economic activity around a few big cities. They get lots of money from the state. Most have freshly paved highways paid for by Marion or Hamilton County taxpayers.

      They’re trying to build an Indiana version of Research Triangle Park. Lebanon happens to be in the right place if you draw a triangle between West Lafayette, Terre Haute (Rose Hulman), and Indianapolis. I suspect connections play a part but so does being in the right place at the right time.
