ContradictedA question DataCenterData examined; no one is quoted.
Checked 11 September 2026 · Next check: no trigger recorded
The expiration of Hammond's CoreWeave agreement means the existing Digital Crossroad data center closed.
What the evidence supports
Hammond says the separate agreement for the proposed 301 Digital Crossroads expansion expired. June 9, 2025 council minutes identify CoreWeave as an existing tenant at 100 Digital Crossroads Drive. The failed expansion and existing DX-1 site are not the same lifecycle event; the notice does not establish closure of the existing facility.
Biggest limitation
These records do not freshly confirm the existing facility’s current operating status.

Timeline
Council approves the development agreement
Minutes: Decennial constructs; CoreWeave locates in a new 450,000 ft² building at 301 Digital Crossroads under a contemplated 20-year lease; CoreWeave already a tenant at 100 Digital Crossroads. Community impact payment described as up to $4 million/year for 20 years if abatements are agreed. Timeline begins once Decennial and NIPSCO sign a power agreement.
First extension discussed and approved
Minutes/resolution: utility negotiations continue; NIPSCO had submitted a proposed power agreement to Decennial. A separate $25 million lump-sum commitment is discussed as being finalized during a short extension—described as not yet fully documented in the agreement at that meeting.
Extended deadline passes
After two extensions, required obligations and milestones remain unsatisfied. The city does not name the exact failed milestones.
City announces expiration
Hammond says it will grant no further extension. The notice concerns the proposed project at 301 Digital Crossroads and does not address DX-1.
