-- Students in the La Porte Community School Corporation could soon begin training for careers in the growing data center industry through what district leaders say will be Indiana's first Data Center Academy.
The program will offer college credit and hands-on experience with data center technology, preparing students for careers at Microsoft's expanding La Porte campus.
Under the agreement, La Porte Community Schools will receive 15% of those tax revenues for the next 20 years.
"There hasn't been an industry here in La Porte to support them."
