The record, newest first
The council adopts a town-wide one-year moratorium on new data center project approvals, in effect June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027. (Northwest Indiana Business Magazine, May 28, 2026; Town of Merrillville, undated)
Merrillville's data center advisory committee gives preliminary approval to the proposal. (Data Center Dynamics, undated)
Conflicts and open questions
- The November 2024 month comes from Inside INdiana Business's dated report on the companion Wylie proposal; the DCD article itself is undated.
- The paused status is an inference from the moratorium's wording. No zoning vote was found, this rests on one news report, and whether the proposal is still active was not confirmed.
The full record
- Status note
- Paused is an inference: the town barred new data center project approvals from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027, and this proposal had only a preliminary committee approval when last reported. The town does not name projects, and no project-specific record later than 2024 was opened.
- Power note
- A target of up to 400 MW, reported while a NIPSCO transmission study was being commissioned; no study result was reported.
- Evidence
- News reports; primary records not yet obtained
