The Indianapolis City-County Council is set to vote on the land rezoning for Google’s Franklin Township data center project in Indiana.

The vote follows on from the approval given by the Metropolitan Development Commission in August, which went through 8-1.

The project is being pursued by Google-affiliated Deep Meadows LLC, with the proposal being submitted in March of this year. Google was confirmed to be behind the project in July 2025.

Dubbed "Project Flo," the campus is proposed for 468 acres of land along I-74 and Post Road. Site plans suggest that four buildings will be developed. Google will receive tax cuts for 10 years.

The council will now vote on the rezoning on September 22, as reported by WishTV.

The council met on Monday, September 8, to discuss the proposal. Several residents attended the meeting, raising concerns about the possible increase in electricity rates, pollution, water usage, and impact on quality of life caused by the data center.

In addition, around 60 protestors gathered outside the meeting, holding signs.

Thus far, the majority of the council members have spoken out against allowing the rezoning. However, councilman Ron Gibson believes this will change by the September 22 meeting.

Gibson said: “Currently, that parcel, over 400 acres, generates around $40,000-something in tax revenue. But when Google takes over that development, they will generate some $10.5 million in tax revenue.”

Councilman Michael-Paul Hart, however, disputes this, noting that data centers can sometimes be given tax breaks for up to 50 years as per Indiana law.

Franklin Township is located in Marion County, southeast of Indianapolis, where most of the state's data centers are located.

A number of data centers are under construction in Indiana, including Google's $2bn data center campus in Fort Wayne. Rival Amazon Web Services is building a colossal $11bn data center campus in the state.
