Karis Critical Proposes Single Data Center Near Naperville Amid Resident Opposition
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Karis Critical is seeking approval from the Naperville City Council for a single data center near Naperville and Warrenville roads, having scaled back from an initial proposal for two facilities. The project includes a draft agreement for the city to supply electricity, with a peak demand limit of 36 megawatts, but faces resident opposition over concerns about noise, air quality, and land use impacts. The company has pledged a minimum investment of $250 million, citing the site's strategic location near the Indian Hill substation.
