The Issue

  • MORGAN COUNTY IS AFFECTED BY THIS DATA CENTER- RURAL LIVING CHANGED FOREVER. PEOPLE WILL LEAVE IT WILL BECOME A CONTAMINATED PLACE.  
    “We, the united voices of Monrovia, demand an immediate stop to the reckless data center development threatening our cherished community. This isn’t just progress—it’s a corporate land grab that will plunder our resources, spike our energy bills, and choke our environment with unsustainable demands for power and water. Picture this: a once-thriving Monrovia burdened by blackouts, depleted water supplies, and a scarred landscape—all for a faceless tech giant’s profit. We refuse to let our town become a sacrificial pawn in their game. Our families, our homes, and our future hang in the balance. Join us now—sign this petition to force our leaders to reject this disastrous plan and fight for a sustainable Monrovia that puts people first!”

Farms are at stake, water supply, electric grid, wildlife, polluters, no human nor wildlife will survive around it. 

THESE BIG TECH GIANTS NEED TO BE STOPED! FROM TAKING OVER THE SMALL RURAL TOWNS IN INDIANA OR IT WILL BECOME THE LAND OF INDUSTRY GIANTS NO LONGER CALLING INDIANA FARMLAND A PLACE TO LIVE- IT WILL BE CALLED A TOWN TO AVOID! 

Energy Consumption and Its Consequences

The data center is expected to consume an enormous amount of electricity—enough to power thousands of households. This isn’t just a minor uptick in usage; it’s a massive drain on our grid that could destabilize the entire system. Residents might face:

Frequent blackouts as the power supply struggles to meet demand.
Skyrocketing electricity bills as utility companies pass on the costs of supporting this energy-hungry facility to everyday consumers.
Water Usage and Resource Strain

Beyond energy, this project will require vast quantities of water, likely for cooling its servers. In a region where water resources are already limited, this could lead to:

Shortages for households, leaving families with less for daily needs.
Threats to local agriculture, as farms compete with the data center for this critical resource. With water diverted to industrial use, our food supply and rural livelihoods could suffer.
Environmental Degradation

The ecological footprint of this data center is alarming. Picture this:

Constant noise pollution from humming machinery, disrupting the peace of our neighborhoods.
Excessive heat output, turning quiet streets into uncomfortable, industrial zones.
Together, these effects could transform Monrovia from a serene community into a shadow of its former self, with wildlife and green spaces paying a steep price.
Economic Fallout

The economic promises tied to this project—jobs and growth—don’t hold up under scrutiny. Here’s why:

Small businesses will bear the brunt of higher utility costs, making it harder to stay afloat.
Job quality is questionable; many positions may be low-paying or short-term, offering little real benefit to our workforce.
Meanwhile, the tax breaks or incentives often given to such projects could leave our town footing the bill without reaping rewards.
Infrastructure Overload

Our current systems—roads, schools, emergency services—aren’t built for this. The data center could push them to the breaking point:

Traffic congestion as construction and operations clog our streets.
Overcrowded schools if workers move in without corresponding investment in education.
Strained emergency services, leaving police, fire, and medical teams unable to respond effectively to residents’ needs.
A Call to Action

This data center isn’t a step forward—it’s a threat to Monrovia’s way of life. It risks our environment, our economy, and our community’s future, all for a project that offers questionable benefits. By signing the petition, you can help stop this development and preserve Monrovia for ourselves and the generations to come. Contact County Commissioners to reverse their decision, contact our state representative, contact EVERYONE TO MAKE OUR VIUCES HEARD!
