Data center regulations proposed as $20 billion, 795-acre Joliet project advances

Opponents in Joliet, Illinois, are protesting a $20 billion data center project by Hillwood and PowerHouse DataCenters, arguing it advanced without sufficient public oversight. State legislators are proposing new bills to regulate data centers, citing concerns over utility bills and water supply, and aiming to prevent local governments from signing non-disclosure agreements with developers.
