A small-scale data center in Martindale Brightwood? A company has bought 13 acres for that purpose, @taylorwooten.bsky.social reports (paywall) www.ibj.com/articles/unk...

And here’s my story on the finale of the latest city vs. state billboard saga, including the list of industry demands and where the city compromised: www.ibj.com/articles/bil...

The Indy Board of Public Works narrowly decided yesterday that the city will burn trash for another decade. The contract with Covanta (now rebranded as Reworld) did not appear on the public agenda ahead of the meeting. www.ibj.com/articles/ind...

"That means Mayor Joe Hogsett — whose administration set the goal in 2019 and who highlighted sustainability in his first campaign for reelection — probably won’t be in office when the curbside pickups begin (assuming he keeps his pledge not to run for a fourth term)." www.ibj.com/articles/ind...

This proposal was sent back to committee tonight, so expect some changes. Councilors discussed the billboard industry coming with nine demands, six of which the city has met, and fears this decision could be made by state lawmakers during the 2025 session.

This feels like a safe space to share that my most common purchase last month was Reese’s from the City-County Building vending machine 🙂‍↕️
