Pekin
Western Hospitality Partners sought to buy 321 acres of the Lutticken Property, a planned 1,000 acre mixed use development between Highway 98 and Sheridan Road in Pekin, for a data center reported at over 1 billion dollars. After Mayor Mary Burress said in March 2026 the city would not move forward, citing resident concerns about noise and electricity prices, the developer formally terminated the agreement on May 5, 2026 and asked for its deposit back. An opposition Facebook group, Tazewell County Data Center Opposition, grew past 6,200 members.
Power bills in Tazewell County
CRGA is a broad clean energy and affordability law, not a data center bill, and it is the main reason state officials point to when asked what Illinois has done so far to control electricity costs statewide.
The Illinois General Assembly passed the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act on October 30, 2025, and Governor JB Pritzker signed it into law on January 8, 2026, with most provisions effective June 1, 2026. The Illinois Power Agency projects it will save Illinois energy customers 13.4 billion dollars over the next two decades through clean energy procurement and grid reforms. The law does not include specific data center rules; a separate proposal aimed at data centers, the POWER Act, did not pass in the spring 2026 session, leaving data center specific cost protections to ICC dockets and local ordinances instead.
