You’re invited to a timely statewide briefing hosted by Citizens Action Coalition on Indiana’s rapidly expanding AI-driven data center development. LWV members may find this update especially useful as communities across the state continue to evaluate proposals and their long-term impacts.

The presentation will cover multiple topics:

Statewide build-out — an overview of where new AI-related data centers are being built and how quickly the landscape is shifting.

Energy and transmission needs — the fossil-fuel generation, grid upgrades, and transmission expansions required to serve these facilities.

Community organizing — how local groups are responding to proposals, raising questions, and shaping public conversations.

Policy and regulatory context — the incentives, siting considerations, and oversight structures influencing development.

Speakers Kerwin Olson, Ben Inskeep, and Kelly Hamman will provide a clear, up-to-date picture of the data center landscape and take questions during a live Q&A.
