Sell Land for Data Center Development in LaPorte County, Indiana
LaPorte County is next door to a real northern Indiana data center build, and the county is writing rules before it pretends to have a campus of its own. If you own industrial land here, especially around Kingsbury, you can still get a confidential read. Do not expect this page to quote a megawatt total or a sale price it does not have.
What local government has actually done
The LaPorte County Herald-Dispatch reported on February 17, 2026 that the county had asked NIPSCO for an energy study of Kingsbury Industrial Park aimed at future data center development. The same article said county officials had been telling residents that no data center proposal had reached the commissioners’ desks.
WNDU reported on May 6, 2026 that commissioners voted unanimously to move an ordinance restricting where data centers can be built, including setbacks, noise, and water, and limiting them to industrial land. WNDU attributed the push to a proposed Microsoft project. This page does not treat that proposal as a closed campus. The two local reports — no proposal on the desk in February, a Microsoft proposal described in May — need a fact-check before either is used in a pitch.
LaPorte County also showed up in NIPSCO’s Amazon proceeding. IURC Cause No. 46322 records LaPorte testimony filed February 10, 2026. The contract described in that order is Amazon load at one or more locations in NIPSCO territory, ramping toward 2,400 MW by the end of 2032. It is not a LaPorte campus size. The announced campus tied to the 2024 state release is in St. Joseph County. See that page.
Why landowners still ask
NIPSCO serves this part of northwest Indiana. Kingsbury Industrial Park is industrially zoned land the county has specifically pointed at for a utility study. Michigan City’s generating station and the county’s separate talks with NIPSCO about replacement generation are industrial-energy context, not a data center announcement.
Being in the same utility territory as a hyperscale contract is a screening fact. It does not mean a parcel at Kingsbury, LaPorte, or Michigan City has a queue position, a will-serve letter, or a buyer.

What this does not tell you
- No confirmed hyperscale campus inside LaPorte County is cited here.
- No megawatt figure on this page belongs to a LaPorte parcel.
- No land comparable and no “premium” percentage.
If you own the land
- Industrial zoning, a NIPSCO conversation, and an honest distance to transmission are the facts worth sending.
- If a broker quote cites Microsoft, ask for the document. The public trail used here is a news report, not a company release.
- Submit the parcel anyway if the power story is real: intake.

Questions landowners ask
Should I list LaPorte land as a data center site?
Only with a real power path and zoning that can survive the county’s industrial-land limits. The ordinance reported in May 2026 is a constraint, not a bonus.
Is Kingsbury the place to look?
It is the park the county asked NIPSCO to study. That is a lead, not an entitlement.
