The construction cost for a large development near New Carlisle — in what may be a massive data center — is estimated at $11 billion, according to documents that also shed light on the number of jobs it would offer and the pay.

The project may be the largest single investment in Indiana history.

The actual corporation that would build on farmland is still hidden behind the name Razor5 LLC. As The Tribune has reported, this could be part of a massive data center for a large national corporation, possibly Amazon Web Services.

Razor5's decision to locate in the county is not a done deal yet, Bill Schalliol, the county’s executive director of economic development, said Tuesday. Nor has the land been purchased. He said the company is still considering other sites elsewhere in the country as it likewise weighs incentives such as tax abatements.

This is one of two parcels near New Carlisle where the company, now under the name Razor5 LLC, plans to build what could possibly be a massive data center. The company estimates that it would invest about $11 billion in a series of buildings at the site, according to a document filed with St. Joseph County for a possible tax abatement.
