Summary

On 26 October 2026 the Indiana Department of Environmental Management posted a 30-day public-comment notice on its preliminary findings for a new source construction and Federally Enforceable State Operating Permit (FESOP No. F 141-50527-00655) applied for by Microsoft EKI Campus, located at 12501 Cleveland Road, Granger, IN 46530, which 'would allow Microsoft EKI Campus to construct and operate a new stationary data center'. This dated state record names the data-centre project, its applicant and its address, so it is recorded as announced on 26 October 2026. The draft air permit covers the source's new emission units (potential emissions limited below the Title V and PSD major thresholds); it is not yet issued and is not a building or zoning consent for the data centre, so permitted status is not claimed. No construction, building count, IT load or opening date is stated. evidence

The hub-site item owned by account SJCGIS in organisation OjftlhRHkAABcyiF is titled 'St Joseph County IN GIS' and describes itself as providing GIS data for St. Joseph County, IN (https://sjcgis-stjocogis.hub.arcgis.com). The same organisation publishes the Parcel25, address_pt and active_permits layers used here, which ties those services to the county GIS department (the county's own www host returns HTTP 403 to automated clients). evidence

Precision scope: Centroid of St. Joseph County tax parcel 71-05-19-300-088.000-011 (county parcel 006-1019-025244), the 123.46-acre parcel (about 766 by 985 m) that carries 12501 CLEVELAND RD, GRANGER and whose owner of record is Microsoft Corporation. It locates the property at the IDEM source address, not a building, site plan or construction boundary; Microsoft owns six adjoining parcels (931 acres in all) whose part in the campus is not stated.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The county publishes no positional accuracy for its parcel polygons, and the point represents a 123-acre parcel (about 0.8 by 1.0 km) within a 931-acre Microsoft landholding; where the data-centre buildings will stand is not published.
Geometry evidence: 4b79933b

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
