In Lisle, Illinois, a proposal for a 50 MW data center at the former Lockformer Company location on Ogden Avenue has been introduced following a rejected proposal in Naperville. A public hearing was scheduled but postponed due to high turnout.

Concerns from residents include environmental impacts from diesel generators, echoing issues raised during the Naperville council's rejection of a similar project. Mayor Mary Jo Mullen emphasizes the potential positive impact on local tax burdens if the project proceeds responsibly. A new meeting is expected in three to four weeks, as residents express opposition citing proximity to homes and local amenities.
