• What's That Building? Chicago Board Options Exchange (wbez.org) — Hobart gets a brief but notable mention as one of several Chicago-area communities seeing new data centers, highlighting how this tech infrastructure is spreading into Northwest Indiana. The story mainly traces a LaSalle Street building’s evolution from historic train station to options-trading hub and now a high-powered data center, reflecting broader regional growth in digital infrastructure.
