Protestors outside the Indianapolis City-County building on Monday, Sept. 22, 2025 hold signs in opposition to Google’s data center campus proposal in Franklin Township. Google announced its intent to withdraw a contested proposal to rezone hundreds of acres on the southeast side of Marion County for a data center campus. Data centers are buildings that store and process vast amounts of digital information. A Google data center is currently under construction in Fort Wayne. Meredith Sharp, who protested the data center for months, said she was filled with “overwhelming joy” after the announcement.
