Lowell data center town hall requires questions in advance

Northwest Indiana residents are awaiting a town hall meeting about Project Shirley, a proposed data center by Sentinel Data Centers in Eagle Township near Lowell. The Lake County Plan Commission postponed a rezone vote for the project amidst community concerns, with residents expressing strong opposition to the development and the meeting's format. Project Shirley officials plan to apply for special exceptions related to water usage and noise levels, while emphasizing potential economic benefits.
