From the meeting
The packet included Growth Dimensions legislative materials on data centers, including a June 5, 2026 directive that stopped new applications for the Illinois Data Center Investment Program effective July 1, 2026. It also summarized SB 4203, which would tie a data-center certificate of exemption to a community benefit agreement, and SB 3761, which would require data-center disclosures and annual water-use reporting beginning in 2027. This was a policy update, not an award or solicitation.
Decision state: informational, with state-level incentive rules still evolving.
