Power and water
Developer has requested 500 MW from Ameren, which is studying whether the grid can support the load; Cloverleaf states the data center will pay for all required generation and transmission upgrades.
Closed-loop recycled-water cooling with an initial fill of about 1 million gallons, and the city's public works director said officials were told the data center's daily water usage would be 32,000 gallons, a projection for a facility not yet built, so no water-use figure is recorded. Cloverleaf's municipal presentation states no groundwater wells would be used, domestic water only.
Notes on the record
Four data center buildings plus substation, office and warehouse proposed on farmland off Formosa Road near Collinsville Road. Cloverleaf is a powered-land developer; no end tenant has been named. A permanent-jobs estimate of 100-200 was given as a range and is not recorded as a single value; Cloverleaf's estimate of about 1,000 construction jobs is likewise approximate and not recorded. Coordinates are derived from the mapped road intersection and are approximate.
What the record does not establish, and the document that would
In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.
- Power capacity in megawatts
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
- Land area
Which document closes each gap
- Power capacity in megawatts
- The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
- Permanent jobs promised
- The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
- Land area
- The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
