Closed-loop recycled-water cooling with an initial fill of about 1 million gallons and roughly 32,000 gallons per day ongoing. 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. 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.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
- Land area
Which document closes each gap
- 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.
