Hoffman Estates just rejected a major data center project in a dramatic three-hour vote, with four commissioners siding against rezoning land at Higgins Road and Route Fifty-Nine — echoing a similar defeat in Naperville. Residents flooded the meeting with opposition, citing community harm and questioning the public benefit, especially since two centers are already under construction nearby.

Even amid the backlash, one resident across the street had no issue — highlighting how deeply divided these decisions can be.
