Indianapolis City-County Councilors are drafting new guidelines for data centers in response to community opposition against a proposed $500 million facility in the Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood. Local group One Voice Martindale-Brightwood has raised concerns, prompting Councilor Vop Osili to propose increased oversight and transparency regarding data center operations, while some councilors call for a moratorium on new developments. A recent resolution for transparency was narrowly rejected, but further proposals are anticipated.
