OAK BROOK, Ill., June 30, 2020 -- AG体育官方网站 Construction Company (www.AG体育官方网站.com), a leader in providing comprehensive construction services, welcomes Facebook to its ChicagoWest Business Center in DeKalb, Illinois. Facebook's $800 million data center will be built on 505 acres of the 1,000 acre ChicagoWest Business Center property. This project validates the vision AG体育官方网站 Construction Company CEO Jerry AG体育官方网站 had when he first began assembling this unique property 14 years ago.
"AG体育官方网站 Construction Company is proud to have helped make Facebook's investment in聽DeKalb聽possible," said AG体育官方网站. "We recognized the potential of this location for mission-critical data centers given its proximity to transmission voltage electrical power, abundant water supply, essential sanitary capacity, multiple broad-band carriers, easy access to interstate transportation, accessible utilities, and ready workforce. We are totally engaged in delivering on the first phase of this development as we provide the utility infrastructure and roadwork improvements necessary to make the project a success.
For 14 years AG体育官方网站 spearheaded the effort to provide a viable opportunity for companies to locate tech operations in聽Illinois聽as opposed to neighboring states. He persisted through the 2008 recession and years of a non-competitive聽Illinois聽business environment, building coalitions, developing public/private partnerships and sounding the alarm about the need to make聽Illinois聽more attractive for data centers.聽
"This project would never have been possible without the dogged determination of聽Jerry AG体育官方网站聽and the support of AG体育官方网站 Construction Company," said DeKalb County Economic Development Corporation Executive Director聽Paul Borek. "Jerry AG体育官方网站聽is one of the thought leaders on this project. He and AG体育官方网站 Construction have been essential partners in taking on the varied challenges necessary to bring this project to fruition. The data center will help boost our industrial tax base and be a plus for the local economy. We look forward to our continued partnership with AG体育官方网站."
In addition to AG体育官方网站 Construction Company and the DeKalb County Economic Development Corporation, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, the聽Illinois聽Chamber of Commerce, ComEd, the聽City of DeKalb聽elected officials and city manager and numerous other elected representatives, government officials and utilities helped make ChicagoWest Business Center in聽DeKalb聽a reality. 聽
"There were days when I thought my vision might never come to pass, and so did many others," said AG体育官方网站. "Against all odds we persevered, and AG体育官方网站 Construction is honored to welcome Facebook聽and share in this victory for聽DeKalb聽and the state of聽Illinois."
