en.Wedoany.com Reported - A closed incinerator near Robbins, Illinois, just outside Chicago, is drawing interest from multiple data center developers.

The site, located at 13400 S Kedzie Ave, spans 16 acres and was originally the Robbins Resource Recovery Center. It is listed for sale at a price between $25 million and $30 million. At least five potential buyers have contacted owner Paul Duggan this year to express interest in acquiring the property.

Duggan stated that plans for the site could involve constructing three buildings, potentially under a single-owner, three-tenant model or a single-owner, single-tenant model, with clients such as Microsoft. In response to external concerns, the Mayor of Robbins said that as mayor, it is his duty to explore innovative solutions, while emphasizing a high level of attention to water, electricity, noise, pollution, and environmental issues. He noted that the project is currently in the exploratory phase and will not proceed into the community if problems cannot be resolved.

The site is located in the village of Robbins, within Cook County, approximately 18 miles south of downtown Chicago. The incinerator site features seven buildings along the Cal-Sag Canal, which began operations around 1997 and closed in 2000 after tax subsidies were eliminated. It was originally designed to process over 1,000 tons of waste per day. In 2021, the site was once considered for conversion into a natural gas and fertilizer production facility.
