Local News: Friday, September 25th, 2026

Amazon says it’s in the early stages of deciding whether to develop a data center in Posey County. An Amazon spokesperson says that if the company moves forward, the project would go through a full public review process. The company says it plans to work with residents and local officials to understand community priorities and address concerns. The statement came as the Posey County Area Plan Commission held a public hearing on Thursday on proposed changes to the county’s unified development ordinance. Much of the public comment focused on new regulations for data center construction. Attorney Mike Schopmeyer, with Evansville law firm Kahn, Dees, Donovan and Kahn, represents Amazon Web Services. Schopmeyer told the commission Amazon is no longer considering its initial proposed location. He says the company is now looking at a more industrial site closer to major highways. Schopmeyer also said Amazon will not apply for permits or begin work until the county’s ordinance process is complete. He argued the proposed amendments are overly restrictive and need to be more balanced. Schopmeyer was limited to three minutes of public comment. An audience member’s attempt to give him additional time was not allowed under the commission’s rules. Schopmeyer said Amazon’s plans are still in the early stages, and community outreach could begin in about a month. The public hearing was continued until October 1st at 5:30 PM at Hovey House in Mt. Vernon.

Frustration mounts as coal plants stay online months past retirement date

The United States Department of Energy has extended the life of two aging Indiana coal plants once again. The federal agency first bypassed state plans to retire NIPSCO's R.M. Schahfer Generating Station in Jasper County and CenterPoint Energy's F.B. Culley Generating Station in Warrick County in Dec. 2025. Every 90 days since then, the DOE has issued a new emergency order to keep the plants burning. The latest federal orders mandate that the plants keep running until Dec. 18, 2026. In the meantime, consumer and environmental advocates are posing legal challenges to the DOE orders – and expressing frustration about burning fossil fuels and the mounting costs required to keep the antiquated power generators online. Both NIPSCO and CenterPoint plan to recoup some of the costs by raising ratepayer bills across the Midwest. But the legal case opposing the DOE orders hinges on the word emergency. Beyond situations of true crisis (like a natural disaster), the federal government doesn't have the authority to meddle in state energy affairs, said Tony Mendoza, a senior attorney in the Sierra Club's Environmental Law Program. Earlier this month, a three-judge panel agreed. The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
