## Resource

Indianapolis City-County Council President Maggie Lewis is pushing for a temporary pause on new data center construction, citing urgent community and environmental concerns that demand a full public dialogue before more approvals. While some council members, like Ron Gibson, highlight the potential to revitalize neglected areas and attract investment—especially on underused industrial land—opponents warn of strain on city utilities and potential tax hikes. Developers, however, insist they’ll cover all costs. This isn’t isolated: 17 Indiana counties are already pausing or banning new data centers, signaling a statewide reassessment. A crucial committee meeting next Monday evening will vote on Lewis’ moratorium amendment, with a public hearing, and if approved, it heads to the full council for final approval.
