(Courtesy: Fox59) LEBANON, Ind. — Meta’s plans to build a 1,500-acre data center in Lebanon’s LEAP Research and Innovation District continue to move forward after being given the thumbs up by the planning commission.
Referred to as Project Domino, Meta’s massive data center would be located north and south of State Road 32 between County Roads 250 West and 400 West.
The campus would contain 15 total buildings, according to plans submitted to the planning commission. These include 12 data center buildings, one network building, one logistics warehouse building and one administrative building.
Meta Platforms Inc., which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, has committed an initial $800 million investment as part of the first phase of the multi-phase project. In total, the investment by Meta could grow to more than $4 billion over the six phases.
Last fall, the Lebanon City Council approved a 10-year, 50% real property tax abatement and a 35-year, 100% personal property tax abatement to Meta to help lure the tech giant to the LEAP District.
To offset these abatements, META will reportedly pay a yearly $1.5 million community impact payment.
