Microsoft Enters Data Center Market in La Porte, Indiana
Microsoft· La Porte, Indiana
Microsoft is advancing plans for a $1 billion data center in La Porte, Indiana, with the city holding a public hearing on land annexation needed for the project. The project was originally announced in June 2024 by former Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb. The annexation hearing indicates the project is progressing through the local permitting and land use approval phase. This represents a significant hyperscale investment in a secondary Indiana market, creating opportunities for construction, power infrastructure, and fiber connectivity vendors. The public hearing stage suggests urgency is moderate — land use approvals are underway but construction has not yet begun, making this an ideal time for BD outreach to position for upcoming procurement cycles.
Google Enters Data Center Market in IN
Google· Indiana
Google is developing a data center in Indiana with construction starting this summer. Power for the facility will be supplied via NiSource GenCo, backed by pooled generation and market capacity purchases. Additionally, Google Cloud's S3NS is part of a €180M EU cloud pact, signaling continued international expansion. For BD professionals, the Indiana project represents a near-term opportunity to engage on construction services, power infrastructure, and cooling solutions as the project moves into active construction. The urgency is moderate to high given the imminent summer construction start.
