Real Intelligence

$1 billion. 467 acres. Score: 2/100.

Google assembled 467 acres of Franklin Township farmland through a shell company called Deep Meadow Ventures LLC. Here's what RealClear would have found before the first option was signed.

17 of 25 councilors opposed

Near-unanimous opposition was visible in public statements before the petition was even filed.

Flood overlay zones on the parcels

Flood Fringe and Floodway zones were visible in county GIS. The site has existing drainage problems.

AES rate hike as political accelerant

AES Indiana’s $192.9M rate case made ‘higher electric bills’ the most resonant opposition argument.

CAC already stopped 5 data centers

Citizens Action Coalition was already active in Indiana data center fights before Google filed.

I am a no vote. Most people feel that these data centers do not pay their fair share of their electricity and their water usage.

— Councilor Jared Evans, District 17
