INDIANAPOLIS — The Metropolitan Development Commission voted 6-1 at its meeting on July 15 to give DC Blox final approval on a data center to be built on the east side. Residents have 30 days to challenge the decision in court.
Atlanta-based developer DC Blox proposed the $2 billion campus near South Kitley Avenue and the Pennsy Trail earlier this year. The project would be constructed on contaminated land located on the Thunderbird Commerce Center property, an industrial park that was once home to a Ford plant. The company estimates the project will create about 600 temporary jobs during construction and 21 permanent jobs once the campus is completed.
No further approvals are needed for the project to move ahead.
