TOPIC #1: Public / Private Partnerships in IN - The Creation of a Data Center Industry in the State of Indiana

Presented By: Thomas Dakich, Managing Member, Digital Crossroad

Competition between municipalities to lure the jobs and the construction spends from the data center industry has heated up. Indiana entered the national data center market with the passage of the strongest data center tax exemption legislation in the country. The City of Hammond made a strong redevelopment commitment by making both tax increment financing and Economic Improvement Development incentives available to Indiana data centers. Tom Dakich, the Managing Member of the Digital Crossroad Data Center Campus, will discuss Indiana’s strong commitment to data center public-private partnerships.
