Commission nears decision on Decatur Township data center proposal
News Clip2:37WISH-TV·Decatur Township, Marion County, IN·3/17/2026
A $4 billion data center proposal in Decatur Township, Marion County, Indiana is facing opposition from local residents as the Metropolitan Development Commission is set to consider the million-square-foot, 250-megawatt project. Unlike a previous data center project in Franklin that required City-County Council approval, this Decatur Township project can be decided by the Metropolitan Development Commission because the land is already zoned for industrial use.

Protesters are turning up the heat against plans for a $4 billion data center in Marion County’s Decatur Township as the Metropolitan Development Commission is set to consider the million-square-foot, 250-megawatt proposal. Unlike, the defeated Franklin-Google Data Center that needed the Indianapolis City-County Council approval, the Decatur Township project will be decided by the Metropolitan Development Commission because the land is zoned as industrial and doesn’t need to go through a full rezoning process.
