Let’s Talk Data Centers: Our Water, Our Power, Our Communities
Advertisement
Data centers are expanding rapidly across Illinois, bringing new challenges for electricity, water, and infrastructure. As these facilities expand, communities are seeking clear information about their impact on the local economy, public resources, energy prices, and environmental health.
Whether you’re new to the issue or already engaged, this event is an opportunity to learn, ask questions, and help shape how our communities respond to the growing data center industry.
What do these developments mean for our water supply? How might these affect our energy grid and utility bills? Are there economic benefits or infrastructure upgrades these facilities might bring?
Join us for a conversation about data centers, their impacts on communities, regulatory frameworks, and protections—both locally and statewide.
