The Metropolitan Development Commission is preparing to decide on a $4 billion data center proposal in Decatur Township, Indiana. The project, presented by Sabey Data Centers LLC, consists of a million-square-foot facility with a 250-megawatt capacity on a 130-acre site.

Unlike the Franklin-Google Data Center, this proposal requires no City-County Council approval due to its industrial zoning. The commission meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m. Wednesday.

Projected tax revenue is estimated at $22 million, significantly higher than the current $16,000. However, residents are concerned about potential pollution and construction impacts during the four-year build period.
