Yorkville council to consider data center agreements Tuesday

The Yorkville City Council considered significant agreements for two data center projects, Project Steel and Project Cardinal, during a recent meeting that extended into early Wednesday morning. Originally, the council was scheduled to vote on annexation and development agreements for the Project Steel data center on Tuesday evening at Yorkville City Hall. Following extensive public comments and presentations, the council ultimately approved the annexation agreement, development and utility agreements, and rezoning for the proposed Project Cardinal Data Center campus.
