PACK THE MEETINGS!
Plan on arriving 30 mins early please!

Monday - August 10 5:30pm - Pekin City Council wants to approve $163,000 of your money so they can continue to steal your privacy with 54 cameras around town. Let them know your privacy is worth more than their contract!

Tuesday - August 11 @ 5:00pm - Tazewell County Land Use Committee - Agenda includes "Proposed Data Center Ordinance language". With the news of the Delavan county controlled location sold to a "tech developer" your voice needs raised! Let the committee know their writings need to say no data centers are welcome in our county! Ordinances should reflect our citizens, not Springfield politicians.

SEE YOU THIS MONDAY AND TUESDAY!

ATTENTION TAZEWELL COUNTY RESIDENTS!
PACK THE MEETING - North Pekin, Monday June 8 @ 6pm - Village Hall, 206 Lincoln Blvd.

We need residents to show up & let the Village of North Pekin know you do not want the former AMC Theater turned into a data center facility.

We ask for NO ZONING CHANGES to the theater property without the new property owner completing an INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY IMPACT STUDY.

WHAT WE KNOW:
* The former AMC Theater was purchased in Dec 2025
* New owner is North 52, LLC from Indiana
* IT Company with contract ties to Microsoft and Google
* Existing size of building = ~44,000sq ft
* Hyperscale facility is classified as larger than 10,000sq ft
* Total lot size is 18 acres; City of Pekin owns adjacent property of 29 acres
* Hyperscale needs 40 acres minimum for cooling & generator space

We are expediting work with our lawyer to push for FOIA and agreements. Please help us cover these bills by donating to CIDCO. geni.us/give2cidco

Many have asked about a lawyer to push back on the Pekin Data Center Project. A law firm is retained.

Central Illinois Data Center Opposition has retained an attorney, Phillips and Bathke, who has extensive experience fighting other land use situations, such as wind and solar farms, pipelines, electric transmission lines.

As they state we can share information publicly on their progress, we will do so in a timely manner.
