County Road 1000 N - 1.1 GIG DATA CENTER OPPORTUNITY 448 Acres of Industrial Land in Palmer, IL 62556

This 448-acre development site in Taylorville, Illinois is being positioned for a large-scale data center and power infrastructure investment opportunity. The property benefits from access to significant energy and utility resources, including a planned 1.1-gigawatt combined-cycle natural gas-fired power facility, service from RECC and Ameren Illinois, and proximity to 357 kV transmission infrastructure. The site is also supported by fiber connectivity providers including Windstream and Frontier Fiber, creating a foundation for data-intensive operations requiring power redundancy and telecommunications access.
Taylorville offers a strategic Central Illinois location approximately 40 minutes from Springfield and roughly 1.5 hours from St. Louis, providing access to regional labor pools, transportation networks, and business services while maintaining the development flexibility associated with a large land assemblage. The property is identified as being outside of significant flood risk areas and is currently zoned agricultural, offering a substantial canvas for future development planning and entitlement efforts.
The project's positioning is further supported by Illinois' data center investment incentive framework, which provides qualifying facilities with potential exemptions from various state and local taxes, subject to certification requirements and statutory eligibility standards. Combined with available utility infrastructure, natural gas service, water resources, and telecommunications connectivity, the site presents an opportunity for users and investors seeking to develop hyperscale, enterprise, or advanced computing facilities in a power-focused environment.
