Overview

• Google withdrew its petition during Monday night’s City-County Council meeting, canceling a planned vote on a proposed $1 billion data center.
• The proposal sought to rezone more than 460 acres on Indianapolis’ southeast side after winning Metropolitan Development Commission approval in August.
• Council leaders said the matter could return Oct. 6 unless Google formally withdraws its case with the development commission.
• The plan faced strong pushback from residents and at least 17 councilors, while Franklin Township Schools backed potential financial incentives following recent state property tax changes.
• Mayor Joe Hogsett said he respects the decision and pledged to keep working with businesses and neighbors to attract investment as protesters packed the meeting.
