Common reading; no one is quoted
Checked 11 September 2026
Microsoft La Porte already has more than 600 permanent Microsoft jobs.
What the evidence supports
Microsoft's June 2026 update describes more than 600 permanent jobs in the first phase, while Indiana's 2024 announcement said up to 200 jobs by the end of 2032. Groundbreaking is supported; observed project employment and the changed scopes are not yet reconciled.
Still unknown
Observed employment; whether the 200-by-2032 and 600+ first-phase figures describe the same scope.

From 35-year state sales-tax exemption for at least $1B eligible capital, with possible extensions; local and NIPSCO incentives referenced but not yet reconciled.
To 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.
Why Primary municipal minutes record introduction and unanimous adoption of R-3-2026.

microsoft-la-porte → stable_id
Changed correction
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.
