The record, newest first

  1. WSPY reported the village board had recently approved items creating a special service area; the village administrator said the roughly 300-acre campus was under construction. (WSPY News, Aug. 6, 2026)

  2. WCSJ reported construction would start within weeks; the village administrator described a roughly 10-year build beginning with three or four AI-focused buildings, followed by a large substation. (WCSJ / WSPY News, March 27, 2026)

  3. The village board's agenda listed a hearing and ordinances to approve the Equinix annexation and development agreement, annex the land, rezone it to the Data Center District and approve a preliminary PUD; trustees approved the campus at that meeting. (Village of Minooka, Sept. 23, 2025; WCSJ / WSPY News, Sept. 29, 2025)

  4. The Upper Illinois River Valley Development Authority admitted the Equinix project into an enterprise zone. (WSPY News, Aug. 12, 2025)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Acreage is reported as about 300 acres (WSPY) and 368 acres (WCSJ).
  • The annexed territory spans Will, Grundy and Kendall counties (Sept. 23, 2025 agenda); the rezoning was from Kendall County agricultural zoning and WSPY places the Ridge Road site in Kendall County. Kendall is used; the exact parcel county was not checked against a parcel map.
  • Coordinates approximate, from the Holt Road / Ridge Road intersection.
