The Citizens Voluntary Advisory Committee on Data Centers, based in Decatur, Illinois, has issued its report, concluding with a recommendation to permit data center development. This comes amid ongoing discussions and regulatory actions concerning data centers throughout Central Illinois.
McLean County, for example, recently enacted new regulations on water usage and infrastructure expenses related to data center construction. This decision follows a previous measure by the county three months prior, which restricted data center applications exclusively to manufacturing zones. The broader landscape also includes various moratoriums, previously sidelined proposals, and statements from the governor regarding data center activity in the region.
