What the source record says
Codename 'Project Louie'; Google initially concealed via shell company 'Woodland Caribou LLC'. Campus totals approximately 550 acres in Morgan Township east of Monrovia (bounded by Keller Hill Rd, N Antioch Rd, SR-42, W Union Church Rd); additional ~80 acres acquired within Monrovia town limits, bringing total Google holdings to ~628 acres. Planned 1,200 MW AES Indiana substation per IURC Cause No. 46394 (filed Apr 22 2026); that figure is the utility substation capacity ceiling, not a confirmed steady-state data center load — treated as notes per spec. Six buildings plus substation planned. Reported total investment ~$1 billion (IDS News; not confirmed as a firm Google-stated commitment — left out of investmentUsd). Land acquisition spend: ~$78 million for ~15 parcels Sep–Nov 2025. Coordinates approximate (site east of Monrovia near SR-42/Keller Hill Rd area). Annexation dispute with Town of Monrovia active July 2026: county transferred Google parcels to RDC under IC 36-4-3-4.3 to block annexation; Google offered $12M sewer plant upgrade to Monrovia to drop the effort.
