  1. It better show that since the IEDC has already bought much of the property and made major promises. When will the IEDC begin promoting smart economic development (and redevelopment) practices?

  2. The key wording is that the pipeline is “ is feasible without hurting existing homeowners and businesses that rely on the water supply.”. EXISTING. So, what is the impact on future home and business development? This all should have been determined before site selection and millions being spent on land development and business recruitment.

    1. What do you mean? LEAP is already the future home and business development you’re discussing. Do you mean an ever farther future of even more home and business development? How far should this report have speculated about unplanned and hypothetical futures?

  3. While I believe the LEAP District will be a huge economic driver for the area, it is baffling to think that 100,000,000 gallons of water A DAY is needed. Is there any plan to try to recycle/reuse any of that someway, so it isn’t just used for cooling/cleaning/manufacturing?

    1. About 95% of the water will be redistributed into the Eagle Creek Reservoir. How will this affect that area? Nobody knows and I’m a water resource scientist. Environmental research can’t keep with the project (probably by design).

  4. Here’s the rub, and its’ being largely-ignored:

    No mention whatsoever of CLEAN water supply.

    A chunk of that area’s aquifer is already polluted by agrichemical runoff and sloppy state environmental stewardship. That reduces the amount of clean available water. By how much?

    Nobody’s ever asked.

  5. Bad deal now, bad deal later. No one can predict how diverting this water will impact other parts of the state in the future. Indiana politicians railroading another project through on the backs of residents. Of course the IEDC’s studies are going to favor their needs!
