Updates, newest first

  1. Aug. 19, 2026 The project is exempt from Indianapolis's new data center moratorium because it was already approved. (Mirror Indy, Aug. 19, 2026)
  2. March 18, 2026 The Metropolitan Development Commission approves variances for the campus. Because it came as variances rather than a rezoning, the council could not call it down. (WFYI (Indiana Public Media), March 19, 2026; WRTV, April 3, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • The 1 million sq ft figure is WRTV's 'more than 1 million square feet'.
  • MW not disclosed. A Mirror Indy story on a Sabey tax abatement could not be loaded (rate-limited), so abatement details were not verified.
