30 jobs on a 900 acre development? Plus 50% property tax break on buildings. Seems 5gey could have found better use for that 900 acres
Gotta be a misprint on total number of jobs at build out.
Pretty sure the 30 was just for the first building, since that’s all they’re building now.
+1 Rhea
Must be an Error on that 30!
The jobs number seems accurate. Data Centers are not job creators.They are huge warehouses filled with servers – and those have become increasingly automated to run and upkeep. I guess good for Fort Wayne to collect some new property tax revenue, but these things don’t bring with them lots of employment.
Exactly!
Not sure why they’re getting such a great tax abatement if they’re not creating jobs to support local economy.
With $845mm investment comes construction jobs, infrastructure improvements to over 900 acres, attraction to other businesses, recurring revenues such as utilities, landscaping, maintenance, etc…. Better use of ground than sitting empty for the next 25 years as new commercial construction from higher interest rates and economic uncertainty has grinded to a halt, especially in under developed areas like SE FT Wayne.
Sounds like the benefits outweigh the few negatives.

Good for Mayor Henry and Ft. Wayne. Unfortunately not many jobs but that is typical of a data center. Good property taxes after the partial abatement ends and little to no wear on city infrastructure.
Regardless this is great news for Ft Wayne and Indiana as a whole. Ft Wayne is actually doing some impressive things up there and it’s the second largest city in Indiana. This could have a trickle down affect statewide. The LEAP district in Lebanon and all the tech districts around Indy and Hamilton county just makes the entire state that much more attractive to BIG tech investments in the future.
