THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

What's planned

EdgeConneX, through counsel Cirrus Advisors, is seeking a Cook County Class 6B property tax exemption for a planned new two-story, 163,593 square foot, 30 MW data center at 901 Busse Road in Elk Grove Village. The Village’s Resolution 35-26 supports issuing a Letter of Receipt for the Class 6B application, noting the project represents over $500 million in investment and will create about 20 full-time equivalent positions, and that this will be EdgeConneX’s fourth data center in the Village, with two existing and one under construction.

What it means for vendors

Although this is a tax incentive action rather than a direct municipal procurement, it signals a very large private-sector IT and construction project in the municipality’s jurisdiction. Vendors in data center design, construction, power systems, fiber/connectivity, physical security, and facility services can target EdgeConneX as an anchor client, while the Village’s Business Development and Marketing office may need consulting support around economic impact, infrastructure coordination, and permitting as the project advances.

Background

Project at 901 Busse Road qualifies for Class 6B as new construction; will be EdgeConneX’s fourth local data center, expanding a regional cluster.
