The St. Joseph County Board of Zoning Appeals has approved a proposal for a 30 foot sound wall at an under-construction data center in Granger.

A motion to table the proposal so the board could review more information failed before the board approved the proposal 4-2.

The Microsoft data center, already under construction, is also creating concerns about noise impacting nearby neighborhoods.

The proposed 30-foot wall would run along the Toll Road, and its up to Microsoft to move forward on this “good neighbor effort.”
