Misleading

A judge ruled that Hobart illegally approved the data-center project.

No. The reviewed orders do not declare the project illegal; the only final merits ruling identified confirmed the City’s ERA and real-property tax-abatement actions.

What the reviewed record shows

On February 18, the court denied the residents’ tax/ERA petition and confirmed the Common Council’s ERA designation and real-property abatements. On March 26, a different court dismissed or barred the first-fill-permit challenge because the plaintiffs had not exhausted the City appeal process and had not timely filed the administrative record; it expressly did not reach the requested preliminary injunction. Reconsideration was denied April 13. Later fill-permit and site-plan claims remain pending, so the record is favorable to the City on the issues already decided but is not a blanket ruling on every project approval.
