A $200 million, 200-megawatt battery storage project on 40 acres near I-69 and Baseline Road promises roughly $1.5 million a year in property taxes, 200 construction jobs and grid reliability, while neighbors' concerns center on fire safety, water supply and decommissioning. The board approved it unanimously with a three-year window to build.
