We’ve heard questions about how the Sangamon County data center could impact local water resources. Here are the facts:

• The facility’s water usage is expected to be minimal, comparable to 15 new homes

• Its cooling system operates in a closed loop and won’t require ongoing water consumption

• The project will not impact local water availability or residential water rates

The development also complies with environmental standards and agricultural protections designed to help preserve surrounding farmland and infrastructure.

There’s been a lot of misinformation about the Sangamon County data center project and local energy costs. Here are the facts:

• Local residents will not pay to power the facility
• The site was chosen because the grid already has available capacity
• CyrusOne, not residents, will fund any needed infrastructure upgrades

The Sangamon County data center project means more than new development - it means real jobs for local workers, skilled trades, and future generations in our communities.

The project is expected to create:
• 100 permanent local jobs with approximately $8 million in annual payroll
• 500 construction and skilled trade jobs during development
• New partnerships supporting STEM education and workforce training programs

Get the facts about the project and what it could mean for Sangamon County’s workforce.

The Sangamon County data center project will bring nearly $6 million annually in local property taxes to help support schools, emergency services, infrastructure, and other community needs - all without raising residential taxes. Even better, CyrusOne is making this investment without receiving any local tax breaks.

Get the facts about how this project will create lasting benefits for Sangamon County.
