The regulatory paper of the present — project files, causes, permits and facility records, each proving its own proceeding and no more
What it is: four state dockets carry the modern ground. INDOT's project record (DES 2003096 for the SR 23 corridor; the Reference Post Book's 50.871 miles; the State Highway Commission maps of 1926–1951 behind them) dates the corridor's staged widening as far as the record goes — and stops, leaving the project-by-project course a named gap (GAP-T6). The IURC's causes carry the water fight whole: Cause 45568 (order of 13 April 2022) creating the Granger Water Utility's roughly 151-acre service area, IDEM permits of February–March 2021 beneath it, Mishawaka's written declination of 29 May 2020 beside it, and Cause 46221's testimony counting some 35 residences served by November 2025, with the stipulated settlement of 29 October 2025 — including the "Granger West" shared-sewer area — closing the file for now. IDEM's air-permit record (FESOP F 141-50527-00655, with the consultant's June 2026 application: six buildings, EKI001–EKI006, and a Campus Amenities Building) fixes the data-center campus's permitted shape and its permit address, 12501 Cleveland Road. IDOH's long-term-care facility files (licenses 24-013644-1 and 18-012229-1, consumer reports) carry the boundary care row — beds, owners, administrators, effective dates.
Its standing, from this build's experience: a docket proves its proceeding: that an order issued, a permit was noticed, a witness testified to a number on a date. Read at that strength, the dockets are this build's hardest modern evidence — the water utility exists as a legal fact because the Commission ordered it, and the testimony's residence count prints as testimony. The IDEM application's own errors are preserved as its errors: its stated ZIP, 46350, against Granger's 46530, printed as the application's mistake, not corrected into silence.
Where it fails: a docket cannot say what a place felt like, and its numbers are parties' numbers — capacity figures, service counts and campus plans stand attributed to their filers. And the state publishes health data at county and ZIP geography only: IDOH's archived cases-by-ZIP dataset (15 November 2023) exists, and the Health file refuses it for CDP claims, because the ZIP is not the place.
