While opposition to data centers continues to grow, including here in northeast Indiana, Allen County's project is already well into construction.

After months of fierce debate, residents are “overwhelmingly joyful” after Google announced it will withdrawal a proposal to rezone nearly 500 acres Franklin Township for a data center campus.

Shouts of “Sellouts!” and loud boos erupted inside the City-County Building on Wednesday after Indianapolis development officials voted 8-1 to advance Google’s plan for a massive data center in Franklin Township.

The name of the tech company behind a proposal to build a massive data center in Franklin Township has been hidden from the public. But new documents obtained by WFYI name the company behind the proposal.

The data center project now includes investment in alternative energy, non-profits, and job training.
