- September 12, 2026PermittedTract's own 15 January 2026 announcement of its 343-acre Morris acquisition states the Morris Technology Park site is 'fully zoned and entitled' and that it has an executed Transmission Security Agreement with ComEd supporting 1 GW at full build-out. That places the project past announcement and into approved-but-not-yet-built. Initial energization is targeted for June 2028, with a full 1 GW load ramp by 2032. Source: Tract

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.
- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Which document closes each gap
- 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.
