Troy’s February 2, 2026 council minutes record the mayor’s statement that the original Route 162/US 40 site was off the table and a southern alternative was again being explored. This is a site-specific change, not approval of a replacement site or cancellation of all potential development in Troy. Cloverleaf’s Project Beacon was initially presented as a proposed 500 MW data center campus in Troy, Illinois. The earlier concept plans showed either a six-building Phase 1 on about 165 acres or a four-building full-build layout on roughly 275 acres; no formal application had been filed when the project was first presented, and zoning and utility approvals remain required.
