Indianapolis, IN, July 31, 2026 —
The Hogsett administration in Indianapolis has indicated its support for tax incentives for three major data center developments: Metrobloks, Sabey, and DC Blox.
This shift in stance follows earlier reservations expressed by city officials concerning the proposed incentive package for Metrobloks. The potential tax breaks for the developer associated with the Metrobloks project are estimated to reach $56 million, with the possibility of additional benefits for future tenants.
To address concerns and ensure clarity, the administration intends to ask for a postponement of the vote on the Metrobloks incentive package. This delay is intended to allow for the transparent presentation of community commitments related to the project.
In parallel, city-county councilors are moving towards a vote on a proposed moratorium for data center development. Mayor Hogsett has voiced his support for this moratorium. However, it is important to note that the moratorium, if enacted, would not retroactively impact the three projects that have already received approval: Metrobloks, Sabey, and DC Blox.
