📰 News we're reading

• Hobart residents sue to block city's data center plan (chicagotribune.com) — Hobart homeowners have filed a lawsuit to overturn city actions that cleared the way for a large Amazon data center on rezoned farmland near neighborhoods, parks, and a hospital. The case challenges zoning changes, land transfers, and a proposed 725-acre economic redevelopment area that could grant Amazon major tax breaks, even as city leaders argue the project could bring substantial revenue and property tax relief to Hobart residents.
