Community meeting in Michigan City discusses data centers

A community meeting recently took place in Michigan City, Indiana, to address concerns surrounding Google's proposed Project Maize data center. The event, co-hosted by Just Transition Northwest Indiana and Say No to Data Centers in LaPorte County, provided a platform for local residents to voice their opposition and discuss strategies for action. Community members, including Amy Losinski, highlighted an ongoing effort to fight the project and demand transparency from the city. Losinski stated that residents are seeking responses to questions raised throughout the development process, particularly regarding the data center's potential impact. Michigan City leaders and Google representatives have previously acknowledged the community's concerns. They have indicated that they are working to address issues related to sound levels, the employment of union workers, and the significant consumption of water and power resources by the data center.
