Data center park developer Tract is expanding into Chicago, Illinois. The campus, located off I-80 and Highway 6 in Morris, can reportedly support up to 1GW at full build-out across ~2.9 million sq ft of data center capacity. Initial energization is targeted for June 2028, and a full 1GW load ramp achieved by 2032.
“The Morris Technology Park project is the result of several years of close collaboration with the City of Morris, ComEd, and the Illinois Economic Development Corporation (IEDC), and state leaders,” said Graham Williams, president of Tract. “We were impressed with the foresight and proactive approach of the Morris community leaders in preparing a fully annexed and zoned economic development site suitable for a data center campus of this size. We appreciate our partnership and look forward to collaborating on and supporting future infrastructure as this project moves forward.”
“This project is the result of years of collaboration with the City of Morris, ComEd, Illinois Economic Development Corporation, and state and local leaders,” the company said on LinkedIn. “The combination of the location and the scale offers a unique opportunity to create truly fungible capacity that can support cloud, inference, and training workloads today with the ability to adjust over time.”
