Opponents readying to fight proposed South Elgin data center

A proposed 20-acre data center in South Elgin, Illinois, by Whiterose Partners and Kenyon Brothers Co., is facing significant public opposition, with over 4,700 signatures on an online petition. Residents are concerned about its proximity to homes and schools, as well as its substantial electricity and water demands. The project, which requires annexation and zoning changes, is scheduled for review by the Planning and Zoning Commission on August 19 after an initial postponement due to parking concerns.
