7 thoughts on “Indy officials to weigh rezoning request for planned data center project

    1. It’s along an interstate and across from an auto parking lot hell, auction company. Would you rather it be downtown? This is mostly fields light industrial and housing north of the interstate designated commercial zone..

  1. This is something that no one wants in their backyard, however change will happen especially when there is an opportunity to grow the Indianappolis tax base, after the giveaways have expired. The fact the Google is the tech company really has no relevance, really the tech company period has no relevence. What is relevant is the placement of the facility, how they will affect the people who are already there. It is not like other issues where people move in then complain about a business nearby which has been inplace for decades, this is a new building moving into an existing neighborhood. Good luck fighting city hall and the lure of the dollars.

    1. By the time the tax breaks expire, the declared value of this project will have plummeted. This is a no-revenue, few jobs, few benefits project.

      The company behind this is not just important, it’s critical. Tech companies come and go. We don’t want to be left with a half finished shell of a building. Google, or whomever, should make their involvement public, and post a commitment of some kind to the completion of the project. That is, assuming the MDC lacks the integrity to kill this deal, and allows it to go ahead. Because, after all, it’s just Southsiders being impacted.

  2. This is outrageous! There are homes along all the streets boarding the data center. The residences in the area will have no chance to get value from their home if they should decide to move. 75′ is too tall for the area that currently offers an expansive view. What about the toxic EMF’s emitting from the data center? How long will it take before health issues plague the residents? Doesn’t anyone making these decisions care about the citizens in the area? The community has been fighting this from the beginning. Changing the zoning is the first step toward building this beast of a center. Completely opposed to this but who really cares! Why give them tax breaks when they offer very little in return. Low employment, low tax revenue to serve the state, reduced resources for those who live in the area, destruction to the already terrible conditions of the roads. What do they offer? Google or whomever it is can move to an area surrounded by highways. The noise will be absorbed and hopefully the EMFs will not harm anyone.

  3. The recommended DMD staff commitments sound very weak and to the developers advantage.
    If approved, the developer should also pay for and build the trail system.
    The developer should also pay and rebuild the surrounding roads and streets with improved capacities.
    The developer should also pay for and install massive mounding and plant materials to basically make the development disappear behind a very dense woods.
    And much more!
