Lawsuit challenges zoning, approval process for Joliet data center

A lawsuit has been filed against the City of Joliet and three companies involved in the $20 billion Joliet Technology Center project. Plaintiffs allege the city's rezoning of agricultural land for the data center is unconstitutional and that the approval process violated state laws regarding public notice and due process. The suit also highlights concerns about the data center's substantial water and electricity demands.
