South Side Residents Call on Mayor to “Reverse the Permits,” Stop Quantum Campus

South Side Chicago residents are actively opposing the proposed Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park, fearing it will house a data center and cause negative environmental impacts. Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order strengthening data center regulations and calling for a moratorium, but residents are not satisfied with his stance on the specific project. Developers, Related Digital, had previously announced plans for a hyperscale data center on the site.
