Logix Realty is the entity which was formed to acquire land throughout Indiana suitable for data center development. Logistix Property Group is a partner of Logix Realty and an active land developer in the Midwest region with over 30 years of development experience.

Clinton County is an ideal location from a labor perspective for this type of development given its close proximity to Purdue University, the LEAP Technology District and Indianapolis. Additionally, the power, water and fiber infrastructure is well suited to support the development of data centers. The municipally owned power and water utilities provide for a mutually beneficial relationship between the data center operator and the City/County.

The project is estimated to create $265 million in gross property taxes 2030-2053

The project is estimated to generate $6.3 million in local income taxes 2028 - 2053

The area is in a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district which will allow the county through their redevelopment commission to support increased housing and other local priorities in the community.

Counties and towns throughout Indiana are expected to face reduced property tax revenue in coming years due to State Senate Bill 1 which was passed in April 2025 which lowered residential property taxes throughout the State. This development will help make up for those losses both directly (property taxes) and indirectly (income taxes, housing, local retail sales tax).

All of the infrastructure costs required and incurred for this project will be paid for by the data center operator and not by the citizens. The new electric revenue will benefit Frankfort Utilities and will help keep electrical rates low for all the citizens of the community.

The data center operator will be signing a long-term power agreement assuring stable revenue for Frankfort utilities and providing long-term growth and stability.

Fun fact: Data centers only account for 4.4% of total electricity consumption in the United States. Most electricity is consumed by transportation, heating and industrial purposes.

Utilities are one of the most regulated industries in the country. The regulatory bodies responsible for power in this area will ensure that the electrical grid can handle the requested capacity and not strain the system or adversely impact any of the users who are currently connected to it.

Logix has proposed donating several acres of land to Frankfort Utilities for the construction of a substation which would serve future businesses in Frankfort. Frankfort Utilities has had the goal of increasing its electrical infrastructure for some time but has not had the land available in the correct location to do so. This will benefit the community by allowing Frankfort to better attract other manufacturers and businesses to the area.

Additionally, we have witnessed in markets such as Columbus Ohio where data centers are prominent, there have been related businesses that have chosen to locate in the area specifically because of the existing data center community. We anticipate that Frankfort and Clinton County will benefit in a similar way.

Most systems today are closed loop or air chilled systems which do not use excessive amounts of water. For the systems that do require water, the amount of water consumed has greatly decreased over recent years as operators work towards ever greater sustainability. As an example, Amazon has committed to be Water Positive by 2030. Others are doing similar things.

Using some water for cooling can have positive environmental impacts by lessening the need for power, which has a positive impact on overall power grid demand.

We will work closely with Frankfort Utilities to ensure that the proposed water usage is well within the means of the utility to provide it without costs or burden to the local residents or the natural water supply in the area which is a similar analysis performed for any business which desires to locate in the City or County.

The type of data center that we are proposing will generate a lot of good paying full-time jobs as well as 1000s of construction related and indirect jobs.

A reputable firm completed a 25 year economic impact analysis. They pulled data from similar projects in Indiana and nationally. The results indicate that this project will result in hiring 170 full-time jobs at an average wage of $85,000 annually which is almost 40% higher than the State average. I have seen where others in Indiana have estimated those jobs at $100,000 average annually. Additionally, the project is expected to hire almost 2,000 construction related jobs and generate almost the same number of indirect jobs.

Permanent jobs include a variety of technicians, engineers, administrators and security. Temporary jobs, some which may run for years during the phasing of building construction, include construction trades such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC, architects, engineers, web hosting, rack and CPU installation vendors among others.

During normal average daily operation, a data center will emit a noise level of between 45 - 65 decibels, which is the equivalent to what you would experience at a downtown street corner

We have taken steps to further lessen this noise by agreeing to larger setbacks from the street, mounding, increased landscaping and physical design elements within the development.

We are sensitive to the neighbors who live in the surrounding area and want to make sure that we have respectful and thoughtful discussions with these homeowners. While the county has always targeted this area for industrial growth, we understand that homeowners in the immediate area may have questions about our project.

We believe that a data center is a preferred development for an industrial area due to the fact that they don’t have heavy truck traffic nor do they have odors associated with some manufacturing uses.

Nonetheless, we have proposed increased setbacks, mounding and landscaping to provide an increased buffer well over and above the current zoning ordinance for screening for these residents. We have agreed to improve county road 100 and have agreed not to allow certain types of heavy industry in this area, should the data center project not move forward.

We have had preliminary discussions with those residents adjacent to the project about selling their homes if they wish to relocate and will provide them ample time to do so.

The primary incentive program available for data center operators is the State Data Center Sales Tax Exemption which provides for a sales tax exemption on purchases of qualifying data center equipment. This is a State incentive program which is applied to by the data center operator and evaluated on a case-by-case basis after undergoing a cost-benefit analysis. There are large investments required by the data center operators in order to be considered.

Local property and personal property tax incentives are applied to and evaluated by local elected officials on a case-by-case basis usually taking into consideration jobs, investment and overall benefit to the community.

Once the zoning is approved, a final operator partner will be selected and we will work towards the completion of the civil plan, development plan, construction documents, approvals and permits. The goal will be to complete these by the end of Q2 2026. The commencement of construction of the initial building or two could begin by summer of 2026 and will take approximately 12 months to complete.

Similar to many economic development projects, early stage evaluations are kept confidential for many reasons including client sensitivities, employee considerations and competing community evaluations. As the project progresses, the company will make itself known to the community. In those few cases where the operator requires extra ordinary security, they will make themselves known to the county and city leadership
