The Hobart Plan Commission postponed its meeting on a proposed fill permit for a 605-acre site designated for an Amazon data center to 6:30 p.m. on February 5. Legal issues regarding document availability led to the delay.

The petitioner for the fill permit is Tuhaus LLC, with Langan Engineering listed as the engineering firm. The city council approved three resolutions enabling Amazon's project, including a $47 million contribution to the city. Mayor Huddlestun stated this cash payment is the largest known for private development in the U.S. and will support community services without raising income tax.
