Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 12, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Project Steel Data Center Campus in Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois appears in the sources this registry tracks.

Notes on the record

Petitioner Prologis, L.P. as contract purchaser across 16 parcels totalling roughly 540 acres east of Eldamain Road between Corneils Road and Galena Road. Plans as revised in March 2026 call for 16 data center buildings totalling over 9 million sq ft plus three electrical substations, built in three phases over about 20 years, with first-phase construction anticipated in summer 2027. Power capacity has not been disclosed. Coordinates are the centre of the described parcel boundaries 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
  • Cooling method and water use
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • How the community has received it
  • Which utility serves it
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.
Cooling method and water use
The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
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.
How the community has received it
Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
Which utility serves it
The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

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.
