  5. The White County Area Plan Commission narrowly recommends rezoning about 287 acres at the park for industrial use. (Inside INdiana Business / IBJ, Aug. 13, 2025)

  6.

Conflicts and open questions

  • Acreage differs: the Journal & Courier says the reversed rezoning covered more than 184 acres, the figure used here, while IBJ reported about 287 acres at the August 2025 plan commission stage and a commissioner's figure of 250-plus.
  • IBJ's account of the plan commission meeting also reports a 6-4 vote to postpone the rezoning for the water study, which is unclear against the favorable recommendation.
  • Blue Ladder was not a party to the suit. The ruling turned on the rezoning filings, not on whether a data center belongs at the site. The missing owner letters are the plaintiffs' allegation; the judge voiced concern about mismatched dates on the documents.
  • MW and end user are not reported. Officials said in 2025 that the rezoning approved no specific project.
  • The reports give August as the month of the suit without a year; 2025 is inferred from the sequence of events.

The full record

Status note
White Circuit Court reversed the 2025 rezoning on Oct. 15, 2026. Stalled is our reading of that ruling. The developer says it expects a successful appeal, and the landowners could restart the rezoning, with a final vote possible in January.
