Illinois closed its data center incentive to new applicants in July 2026.
We purchase and option Illinois land for data center development. The state exemption is paused for two years. That does not stop projects, but it does change what any developer talking to you is actually working with.
See if your land qualifiesNo cost, no obligation, and no pressure. We answer either way.
See if your land qualifies
Tell us about your property. There is no cost and no obligation. If it does not fit, we will tell you plainly.
Thank you. We have enough to log it. One more page and we can actually evaluate it.
These take about two minutes. Skip anything you do not know. Guessing is fine.
Thank you. We will review the property and come back to you with a plain answer either way, including if it does not fit.
Who you are dealing with
We are the buyer, not a middleman
Ask whoever writes to you about the pause
It is the cleanest test of whether a party actually knows this state. Anyone still describing the Illinois exemption as available for a new project has either not kept up or is hoping you have not. The answer you get tells you a great deal about who you are dealing with.
Without the exemption, your site has to carry more of the case
When a tax break covers part of the arithmetic, a merely adequate site can work. When it does not, the ground itself has to justify the project. That makes genuine transmission access worth more in Illinois now, not less, and it narrows interest to properties that are actually good.
We are the buyer and most answers are no
We sit across the table from you rather than beside you, and you should take anything we send to your own attorney. Most Illinois ground we look at will not suit this, and when that is the answer you will get it plainly rather than getting nothing.

Selling land for a data center in Illinois
The state page separates the two grids that run Illinois, ComEd inside PJM and Ameren inside MISO, and explains why that decides more than the pause does. It also covers drain tile, mitigation agreements, and what your county board actually votes on.
Not sure if your land is worth asking about?
Ask anyway. Checking costs you nothing, and the properties that turn out to work are often ones the owner assumed were ordinary.
