Google to Fund $200K Stormwater Drainage Improvements in Fort Wayne
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Google has agreed to pay nearly $200,000 for stormwater drainage improvements near its data center in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The City Council initially considered funding the project, but voted unanimously against it, stating that Google would cover the costs.
This decision follows criticism regarding previous tax breaks given to Google, totaling $55 million. Activists opposed to the data center are scheduled to hold a meeting on Wednesday.
