Indianapolis city leaders voted 6-2 to approve a data center project in the city’s Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood.

Days later, council member Ron Gibson’s home was shot at and a “No Data Centers” sign was left behind. 

In a statement after the shooting, Gibson acknowledged that the incident was “deeply unsettling.” But he said he still supports the half billion-dollar project, telling NBC News it’s a “done deal.”

The violent backlash reflects a growing concern for communities across the country — especially working-class areas and neighborhoods of color — where data centers may consider investing. With the rise in AI demand, companies large and small require space and energy to run these services.
