Meta's Lebanon data center to use less water than expected, but concerns persist

Local resident Brian Daggy has voiced dissatisfaction with the scarcity of information provided by Meta regarding its large data center under construction in the LEAP district, located about a mile and a half south of his home in Boone County. While Daggy, a 72-year-old retired farmer, noted one positive detail — the company's assertion that the facility will use less water than anticipated — his broader concerns about transparency persist. The construction of the data center along Ind. 32 west of Lebanon is intensifying as the weather improves.
