CHARLESTOWN, Ind. (WDRB) — A proposed data center development could be coming to southern Indiana.
Charlestown Mayor Treva Hodges said a company recently purchased 12 acres in the Shadow Lake Industrial Park and has submitted a request to the city for a development plan to build a small data center.
Hodges said city leaders are already asking questions about the project’s potential utility usage and environmental impact as the proposal moves through the review process.
Residents living near the proposed site were mailed letters with information about the request on Tuesday, according to Hodges. She also said details about the proposal will be posted in the city’s Agenda Center on Wednesday.
A public hearing on the proposed development is scheduled for June 8 at Charlestown City Hall.
