What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The decision regarding tax breaks for a Metrobloks data center in Indianapolis has been postponed. The California-based developer received approval to build a $500 million data center near 25th Street and Sherman Drive. The company is seeking tax breaks that could save an estimated $52.6 million, and a future tenant could qualify for nearly $129 million in additional tax savings. The Metropolitan Development Commission is expected to revisit the proposed incentives on November 18.
