A seventh paper trail · Greensburg, Indiana

The tax break is real. The promised buildout is still a plan.

Jumping Bison has a public incentive on the record before the public has a clear record of power, water, or a working facility. That is the useful distinction: an approved abatement is not money spent, and a large proposal is not proof of delivery.

What the paper trail shows

The FracTracker record identifies Jumping Bison LLC's proposed 550-acre Greensburg site. WRBI reported two phases of about $400 million each and the Greensburg City Council's approval of a 10-year, 60% real-property tax abatement. The incentive is an approved tax treatment; without the underlying schedule and fiscal records, it is not a verified subsidy value or spending total.

Public utility trackers associate the proposal with Duke Energy and report about 50 MW. No reviewed utility filing establishes that figure as requested, approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity. That gap is not a technicality. It is the difference between a project pitch and a bill the public can audit.
