Munster takes no action on tech project that has sparked data center fears
The Munster Plan Commission decided not to take action on an update to the Kenmara Technology Park project, which has sparked fears among residents that it could lead to a data center. Due to broad public opposition and a need for legal counsel review, the decision has been postponed until August.
The Munster Plan Commission has deferred a decision on proposed changes to the Kenmara Technology Park, following significant public opposition from residents who fear the updates could pave the way for a data center in their community. The commission, facing a jammed Town Hall meeting on Tuesday night, postponed action to allow the city's interim legal counsel to evaluate potential modifications to the project.
Approximately 30 residents gathered outside the Town Hall before the meeting to voice their concerns about the controversial project. The Plan Commission is now expected to reconsider the matter in August.
