Public Hearing Set on Google Temporary Office Plan

Google has requested a zoning change from the Allen County Board of Zoning Appeals to utilize a nearly 40-acre parcel of farmland along Tillman Road in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The land, purchased by Google, would serve as a temporary construction workspace to support its expanding data center project nearby. Plans submitted by the company detail the setup as a short-term solution for crews, allowing for temporary offices, fencing, and limited construction support facilities. These structures are slated for removal upon project completion, after which the land would be reseeded, though some landscaping elements may remain. Residents are invited to provide input during a public hearing on April 15 at Citizens Square in Fort Wayne. The county officials are currently reviewing the zoning request.
