A major legal dispute is underway in Kendall County, Illinois, as a group of residents and local businesses has filed a second lawsuit concerning plans for a massive data center campus in Yorkville. The lawsuit targets both the City of Yorkville and the unnamed developer of the project.

The plaintiffs argue that the rezoning of the proposed site for the data center was improperly approved. This legal challenge has put the project on hold, as there is currently no timeline for construction and the company has not yet closed on the property. The case is now heading to court as the group continues its opposition to the development.
