A proposal submitted by DC Blox to build a data center campus in Indianapolis, Indiana, has been greenlit by local authorities.

The data center campus, which will be built in the Thunderbird Commerce Center at 305 Fintail Drive, was given the go-ahead by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Development Commission on Wednesday, July 15.

The proposal that was approved was a scaled back version of the original plan, which detailed a three-building campus. The new plan only shows two buildings – a one-story, 70,000 sq ft (6,500 sqm) building expected to be completed in two years, and a two-story, 250,000 sq ft (23,225 sqm) building estimated for completion in five years.

DC Blox scaled the project back as a concession to opponents, who are preparing to file an appeal for judicial review, according to a report by local outlet Ink Free News.
