Equinix Minooka Data Center

Equinix. Filed

Equinix is advancing a 300 acre data center site near Ridge and Holt roads north of Minooka. At a September 2025 town hall the company told residents the project would not use water cooling, addressing a top community concern in an area that has since seen several competing data center proposals.
