Hobart board hires firm to oversee construction at data center sites

Hobart officials have hired Skillman Corp. to oversee the construction and day-to-day operations of two Amazon data center sites at 61st Avenue and Colorado Street. This agreement, budgeted at $3.9 million through 2030, follows the unanimous approval of the site plans by the Hobart Plan Commission in May. The approval process included a lengthy public meeting with significant security and one arrest.
