Protest Against Data Center Plans in Indianapolis
Dozens of people protested plans for a new data center at a former drive-in theater in the Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood of Indianapolis.
The project, proposed by Metrobloks, aims to construct a data center at the site of the former Sherman Drive-In theater.
Terry Triplett, a neighbor, said, “Y’all could’ve built a plaza, y’all could have built a Kroger, y’all could have built a better food market for us, a better plaza, anything. Why build a building that’s gonna kill a lot of us, in the long run.”
James Wilson, another neighbor, said, “You know, we can’t have politicians making decisions for us on our behalf.
Residents are concerned about the potential impact of the data center on their community, with some calling for alternative developments.
