Cloverleaf Infrastructure Edwardsville data center inquiry
Edwardsville, Madison County, IL
Cloverleaf Infrastructure Edwardsville data center inquiry, a data center project in Edwardsville, IL, has stalled. Rumored / unconfirmed: City emails obtained by Illinois Answers/STLPR show Edwardsville officials were in discussions with Cloverleaf about a data center as part of its three-site Metro East plan, despite public statements of 'no formal proposal.' Edwardsville subsequently tightened zoning so a data center could not be built by right; no application filed. (Source dated 2026-02-22.).
