Data center proposed for Decatur Township wins first step toward approval

News ClipWFYI·Indianapolis, Marion County, IN·2/26/2026

Dozens of Decatur Township residents opposed a proposed 130-acre data center project by Sabey, a Seattle-based developer, but a Metropolitan Development Commission hearing examiner recommended approval of the project. Residents argued the company used a procedural path that limited public scrutiny, as it filed for variances of use instead of a full rezoning request. The project still needs to go through additional approval processes.

Decatur Township residents oppose a proposed 130-acre data center by Seattle-based developer Sabey, citing lack of public scrutiny. However, the Metropolitan Development Commission's hearing examiner recommended approval, advancing the project. Sabey argued they worked with the community on commitments like paying energy costs, and won support from labor unions and business groups. The recommendation now goes to the full Metropolitan Development Commission for a final decision.
