Citizens Energy is considering the use of eminent domain to acquire land from over 400 homeowners for the LEAP-Lebanon Innovation District, which includes a data center and a 52-mile water pipeline from Indianapolis. The project, estimated to cost between $500 million and $700 million, has faced criticism for potentially benefiting private corporations at the expense of taxpayers and limiting landowners' negotiation power. Critics argue that the data centers consume significant resources without delivering public benefits.
