A proposal for a data center at 75th Avenue and Butler Drive is being reviewed by Peoria’s Planning and Zoning Department.
Panning Director Chris Jacques said Aligned Data Centers Propco has submitted plans for dual two-story data center buildings totaling about 916,000 square feet on 95 acres at the southwest corner of the intersection, with a future phase extending toward Northern Avenue.
The property is 1,500 feet from the nearest residential. It is zoned light industrial and legacy place planned-area development, both of which allow data centers as a permitted use. Officials say the property has held industrial zoning for decades, and as a permitted use, it will not come forward for a public hearing.
