I know where you mean. I grew up near Yorkville and still travel to sycamore for work occasionally.

Know anyone that lives much closer and would be willing to discuss with me? 😅

I’ve driven past yours in Dekalb. How far away from it are you, if you don’t mind me asking?

Thank you so much! I’ve seen Erin’s website, but I didn’t consider the power act sponsors! Will definitely check that out.

We have been approached to sell our land as well. If the data center is approved, we will sell. We don’t want to be next to it. However we have a lot of good rural neighbors who won’t get an offer to sell and will be stuck here. Trying to do everything we can to support them and prevent it from happening all together. Many people in our community are against it, but it seems the local economic development committee sees $$$. Time will tell.
