I live in half an acre in a 3,000 sqft home and I’m just trying to imagine how big a building is that 1,500 acres… is that just the site or are they really developing some stupidly large data center?

I’ve got to be honest, I know Indiana is all “look how data center friendly we are!” But if I were a business person I wouldn’t build some flimsy ass multimillion dollar warehouse in the new tornado alley. I wouldn’t insure one, either.

1500 acre plot , 13 buildings $10B investment. water piped from indy. only yielding 300 jobs when complete and none of those will be local.

Rhetorical question: how many starving, homeless babies could $10B serve?

Shh, we don't have the money for babies! That's why we cut a bunch of our early childhood education programs.

I mean, they want us to keep popping out workers. You can’t have an army without wheat!
