T-5 Data Centers Halts Wetland Permit Amid Community Concerns in Grayslake
T-5 Data Centers has suspended its wetland remediation permit application in Grayslake due to community objections. The project, which could reach $18 billion, is ongoing with site preparation work already in progress.

T-5 Data Centers has suspended its wetland permit application for a project in Grayslake due to community objections. The company requires a permit to fill 15.75 acres as part of the development, which is projected to be an $18 billion investment spanning up to 472 acres with 18 buildings.
Village approvals were obtained between September 2024 and May 2025. Despite the suspension of the wetland permit, general site work continues, and a foundation permit has been issued for the first building.
Community members have raised concerns regarding environmental impacts, prompting T-5 to acknowledge the need for local support. The project, which aims to create over 1,600 jobs, has faced public opposition, including potential legal action against the approval process.
