Pekin Data Center Proposal (Lutticken Property)
Western Hospitality Partners. Withdrawn.
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.

What it would mean nearby
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.
