## Caption

After months of debate, a proposal to build what could be the largest data center in Illinois was approved by a suburban city council on Thursday afternoon.⁠
⁠
Joliet City Council approved plans for the Joliet Technology Center, an approximately 795-acre data center that will be built on farmland near Rowell and Bernhard Roads. A site of that magnitude parallels the footprint of New York's Central Park and is big enough to fit eight football stadiums the size of Soldier Field.⁠
