Common reading; no one is quoted
Checked 11 September 2026
La Porte Common Council terminated Microsoft's local tax abatement and the state DATA exemption is executed.
What the evidence supports
The 2 March 2026 council minutes record unanimous adoption of Resolution R-3-2026, whose agenda title describes rescission of the 2024 Microsoft taxpayer agreement, including termination of the tax abatement. DataCenterData has not obtained the adopted resolution text and therefore does not independently state its full legal effect. IEDC showed the state DATA exemption as a pending accepted offer when checked.
Still unknown
Adopted resolution text and full legal effect; whether the IEDC DATA offer has been executed.

From Two Indiana project registers with different IDs for the same projects (microsoft-la-porte-1 vs microsoft-la-porte; digital-crossroads-hammond vs coreweave-hammond counted as parallel eights).
To One Indiana project file. microsoft-la-porte is canonical (alias microsoft-la-porte-1). Digital Crossroads Hammond is the campus; CoreWeave Hammond is the child expansion project; DX-1 remains the operating facility.
Why Remove the duplicate Indiana project authority before any further state expansion.
