Clinton County Commissioners unanimously rejected a rezoning proposal for a 715-acre data center near Frankfort, Indiana. The request aimed to change the land designation from agricultural to light industrial.

The Clinton County Area Plan Commission had previously recommended approval on January 6. A 12-month waiting period is now in effect, preventing similar requests. Commissioner Myers cited negative public feedback as a reason for the rejection, while Commissioner Brewer clarified that the decision does not indicate opposition to future development.

Commissioner Weaver noted discomfort with recent negotiations related to the project. Data centers are being planned across Indiana, but many proposals face public resistance.
