Data Center Signal is tracking 3 clips about Phoenix Construction data center developments across 1 states, including IN.
Phoenix Construction and the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 150, have finalized an agreement for "Project Maize," a data center development in Michigan City, Indiana. This deal will advance the construction of a facility intended to be operated by Google.
The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 has filed to intervene with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission regarding NIPSCO's request for power service for Google's Project Maize data center in Michigan City. The union alleges issues with labor practices, safety, and reliance on out-of-state and undocumented workers, and has also filed a federal lawsuit against Michigan City over public right-of-way issues at the project site.
Michigan City residents are actively opposing the construction of the Project Maize data center, citing environmental contamination concerns from a former industrial site and challenging the zoning and air permit approvals. They have filed a formal zoning complaint and sent a letter to state and city officials demanding a halt to construction, despite the Michigan City Common Council having previously approved the project with tax abatements.
