Google withdraws rezoning proposal for 468-acre data center project in Franklin Township, Indiana – DCD

Google has withdrawn its proposal for a 468-acre data center in Franklin Township, Indiana, ahead of a planned council vote that was likely to deny the application. The decision follows local opposition due to environmental concerns and lack of transparency. Despite the withdrawal, activists remain vigilant as Google can refile the petition in three months. Meanwhile, Google was granted permission for another data center project in Fort Wayne, despite local protests.
