Fort Wayne City Council’s president on Tuesday announced he wants Google representatives, area residents and state and local officials to meet to discuss the data center under construction on the city’s southeast side.
Google has applied for a state permit to use more than 170 diesel backup generators to keep the data center going in the event of a catastrophic loss of power. Google’s long-range plans include up to nine data center buildings on an 892-acre site bordered by Adams Center and Tillman roads and the railroad corridor near New Haven.
