Judge hears motion to dismiss lawsuit over Grayslake data center
Grayslake residents are challenging the Village of Grayslake’s approval of a massive T5 data center, alleging they were denied an opportunity to participate and that zoning laws were violated. A Lake County judge heard the village’s motion to dismiss the residents’ lawsuit, but no ruling was reported.
A coalition of Grayslake residents is suing over the Village of Grayslake’s approval of a massive T5 data center. The residents allege the project was approved without adequate public feedback and violated local zoning requirements, arguing that nearby property owners should have been allowed to review and comment on the development.
The Village of Grayslake has pushed back by asking a Lake County judge to dismiss the case. Attorneys for both sides presented their arguments at a hearing, while the village said the data center could generate approximately $18 million in revenue. The judge’s decision was not reported.
