The proposed data center in Naperville has sparked significant concerns among residents regarding taxpayer risks, environmental impact, and transparency, with nearly 5,000 signatures on a petition against it. Key issues, including noise, emissions, and the project's financing and power delivery plans, remain unresolved, raising questions about the Planning and Zoning Commission's approval process. Advocates suggest that legislation should mandate data centers to generate their own renewable energy to prevent shifting costs to Illinois ratepayers.
