MDC approves $4.3B Sabey data center incentives, secures at least $29.8M for Decatur Township

The Metropolitan Development Commission on 2026-09-16 approved an Economic Revitalization Area and deal terms for Sabey Data Center Properties LLC. With that vote, the city and Sabey will execute a Memorandum of Agreement outlining financial and neighborhood commitments as the project moves forward.

The release describes the development as a $4.3 billion investment. The incentive package provides a 50% real-property abatement for 10 years and a 90% personal-property abatement for 15 years; Indy Economic Development and the city said they did not use the state personal-property exemption. Sabey committed to a peak of 300 local construction jobs during buildout, a $50/hour wage floor for 75 new operational jobs, and projected tax contributions of about $53 million during the abatement period, including $31 million for Decatur Township Schools and $3 million for the Indianapolis Public Library. The MOA also guarantees at least $29.8 million (up to $39.8 million) in Decatur Township investments, including road work, aquatic center funding and public art.
