The record, newest first

  1. Commissioners approve the planned unit development 2-1, the last county-level vote needed. (Indiana Public Radio, Jan. 29, 2026)

  2. Commissioners hold a public meeting on the proposal, with residents split, and take no vote. (The Courier-Times, Jan. 22, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Acreage: about 585 (WRTV, IBJ, Courier-Times), more than 500 (IPR).
  • IBJ reported a first phase of an 800,000 square foot data center with an electrical generation station, and talks with Henry County REMC and Hoosier Energy; no later record confirms either.
  • MW not disclosed. No later record was opened after the January vote, so any lawsuit or development-plan step since then is not reflected.
