Very happy for the work Michael Paul Hart is doing for the community. I was shocked that the Metropolitan Development Commission voted 8-1 in a secret ballot to grant preliminary approval. They clearly have no concern for the people residing in the area. Perhaps the decision makers at the Metropolitan Development Commission need to be replaced. Hopefully when the mayor is replaced, they will depart with him and his ideology that has generally hurt the very people he is supposed to serve and protect.
Secret ballat???? Of course!
Seriously? You’d prefer an industrial park (which is the alternative use that’s been proposed) with the traffic, semi-truck traffic and the related strain on road infrastructure?
The excessive water and electricity use and demands are the reason for folks opposing this use.
Kevin P.: +1
You might get more jobs with an industrial center.
Yes, David. We would. You apparently haven’t wrapped your mind around the incredible energy demand of these facilities. Rate payers pick up the tab. In total this data center will generate about 10 permanent jobs. Its a terrible investment for the community .
Chasing away business worked well for AOC.
New York is doing quite well, as for DC, not so much, even with their watered down Arlington project. So, AOC didn’t “chase” away anything. Just admit you’re obsessed with her for other reasons and move on.
As for this project, business is very welcome in Indy, always has been, but not the sort of massive soul-sucking projects like this one with its incredible electrical and water needs that will overwhelm existing infrastructure.
In today’s Bloomberg news there is an article regarding electrical rate increases and these power consumers…
High correlation between having data centers and higher electrical bills for the general population.
We are in unknown territory today with AI coming. To snub Google would be foolish. We vote in these people who don’t have a strategic mind.
David G – Unknown territory is all the more reason to put a pause on such projects that demand enormous amounts of energy – that require extra infrastructure to support the extra demand, and stress out the grid – and consequently impose the extra costs on everyday rate payers.
What a run-on sentence. Didn’t feel like editing it. 🙂
David, it’s not like data centers are going to lead to economic development. Google isn’t going to locate a new technology center filled with high paying jobs here to be closer to the data center.
There are rural areas around the country, West Virginia, for example, that in a fit of strategic genius welcomed these centers. The electrical consumption, and the noise emanating from these centers all day and night have created hell holes in rural America. That’s part of why they want to build them near urban areas, in the hopes no one in a city will notice them, and no one will notice the impact on their electrical bills as these centers require vast new electrical sources. I can’t wait for a new Marble Hill or Three Mile Island on the south side of Indy…
Ditto Kevin P.
Hope all goes well as I think this is great!
I look forward to a public hearing on this project, as I am interested in learning more about the risks data centers pose to the community. I also hope these risks will be presented as results of analyses of this particular site, versus talking points such as, “…in West Virginia …”
