A proposed data center in Decatur Township is drawing sharp resistance from residents, not only over concerns about utilities and infrastructure, but also because the project will move forward without a vote from the Indianapolis City-County Council. The proposal, led by data center developer Sabey, involves two large facilities planned for land near Camby Road and Kentucky Avenue. The property is already zoned for industrial use as part of the Decatur Technology Park, meaning the project does not require a rezoning. https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/proposed-decatur-township-data-center-sparks-opposition-bypasses-city-county-council-vote/531-316120a8-0588-4dd2-96de-9bfa0baa5dcd
