Additional, larger Microsoft data center in LaPorte draws support
Microsoft is planning a second, larger data center in LaPorte, Indiana, on 1,200 acres, contingent on city council approval of an annexation request. The project is expected to generate significant tax revenue, though some residents express concerns about urban sprawl and environmental impacts like energy and water usage. A public hearing was held, and the city council will vote on the annexation request on May 18.
