Provider notes
Energy. Developer coordinating with ComEd on electric infrastructure, with initial power delivery expected Q2 2028. On-site power generation options are being explored.
Water. FAQ assumes a hybrid evaporative system with no cooling water needed outside summer months. Requested up to 1 MGD of peak-day capacity (not typical use) from the Morris municipal system. Tract committed $10M toward the city's water treatment plant expansion.
Community. The site was already fully zoned and entitled at acquisition; the mayor credited the city's proactive zoning/infrastructure groundwork for attracting the project; no opposition documented in available coverage.
What the source record says
343-acre master-planned data center campus in Morris (Grundy County), IL, developed by Tract as powered land/shell infrastructure. Fully zoned and entitled, with an executed Transmission Security Agreement (TSA) with Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) to support 1 GW (1,000 MW) of planned power at full build-out across ~2.9M sq ft.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source
- 2026 · source-reported proposed
- 2026-09-12 · source-reported permitted
Tract'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.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
