Voters in Madison County say they don't want future data center development

Residents in four Madison County townships overwhelmingly said data center development should not be allowed in their communities. Ballot initiatives in Chouteau, Granite City, Nameoki and Venice townships asked voters whether they support future data center development and construction. Residents in all four townships voted no. Chouteau Township had the most decisive result with 83.27% of the vote against data centers. Other townships voted at least 74% against them. In Illinois, townships are subdivisions of local government that operate alongside cities and villages. The township’s elected board may oversee local infrastructure, such as water and sewer services. Each of the townships included in this advisory measure overlap with Granite City. Because the measures are non-binding, they do not ban data centers even though residents voted against the projects. Heather Groetecke is a lifelong Granite City resident and led the effort to collect signatures for the initiatives. She said the initiative will send a strong message to policymakers about the will of the voters despite being a nonbinding measure. “I am so stunned by the numbers,” Groetecke said. “The people actually listened and cared about their neighbors to vote no for that.” Groetecke wanted to put a data center moratorium on

Madison Council Discusses Bids for Projects in City; Refuse Motion to Bid New Fire Truck

The Madison City Council acted on Monday, Nov. 3 on several bids that will make improvements to city properties over the next few months. The first was final approval of a bid from James Brothers Construction for the replacement of flooring at Soup N Share. The approval is dependent on the company providing proof of adequate worker’s compensation insurance. Should they not provide it, the bid will be awarded to the Krekovich, the second lowest bidder. The contingency was put into motion to prevent further delay on a project that has been tabled several times for additional information. The board discussed the bid for site furnishings for several parks in the city. The bid of $30,380 will allow for the build-out and installation of equipment at the12 th Street, 7 th Street and 3 rd Street parks. The equipment was purchased from a grant that was awarded previously. However, the grant did not provide for the cost of build-out and installation of the equipment which includes benches, tables and other park equipment. This left the project idle for more than a year. After discussion, there was some confusion as to whether the project would be paid by grant funds that
