Fluidstack holds open house on data center coming to Sullivan County

Fluidstack recently hosted an open house at Haute Hall in Marion, Sullivan County, Indiana, to provide information and answer questions from concerned residents about a new data center project. Officials from Fluidstack, along with construction members and civil engineers, addressed various aspects of the development.

The company highlighted its commitment to environmental responsibility, stating that the data center will utilize a closed-loop system for very low water usage and will not impact residential energy rates, as Fluidstack will pay for its own energy. They also assured residents that the completed facility would be significantly quieter than traditional data centers across the United States. Residents expressed concerns about the potential impact on nature and outdoor recreation, particularly on Sullivan Lake.

In terms of community benefits, Fluidstack announced that it has not taken any local property tax incentives, meaning the project will be fully taxed and is expected to generate millions of dollars for Sullivan County's tax entities. Additionally, the company committed $50 million to a community enhancement agreement with Sullivan County, with residents hoping the funds will be used for improvements in parks and school systems.
