Industrial park developer eyes land in south Rockford for new project

Venture One Real Estate is seeking to rezone land in south Rockford from agricultural to industrial use, with a public hearing delayed until June 16. Local residents have raised concerns that this project could be tied to a nearby proposed data center by Monarch Energy. City officials have clarified that Venture One's proposal does not include a data center and an addendum will prevent such development on the site.
