Evidence

What the evidence supports

The 9 June 2025 minutes describe a final NIPSCO agreement as gating the expansion. No executed NIPSCO agreement is in the saved record, and the City's 1 July 2026 notice says the development agreement expired after two extensions because milestones were not satisfied by 30 June 2026, without naming which. The NIPSCO agreement remains unknown. The notice concerns the proposed 301 expansion, not the separate existing DX-1 facility; it does not freshly confirm current operation.

Still unknown

Whether a NIPSCO agreement was ever executed, and which milestones failed; the executed development agreement, the extension resolutions and any NIPSCO filing for this expansion are not in the saved record.

Field Power agreement

From No executed agreement located; exact failed milestones undisclosed.

To The 9 June 2025 minutes describe a final NIPSCO agreement as gating the expansion. No executed NIPSCO agreement is in the saved record, and the City's 1 July 2026 notice says the development agreement expired after two extensions because milestones were not satisfied by 30 June 2026, without naming which. The NIPSCO agreement remains unknown. The notice does not concern the operating DX-1 facility, which is a separate record.

Why City of Hammond notice of 1 July 2026: the development agreement expired after two extensions because milestones were not satisfied by 30 June 2026. The authorized terms (Resolution 25R-16, 8–0, 9 June 2025) are now recorded as lapsed; no payment, incentive or NIPSCO agreement is shown in the saved record. Verdict unchanged.
