Dan talks with Chris Setti of the Greater Peoria Economic Development Council, Josh Wray of the Pekin Economic Development Council, and Mary Burress, Mayor of Pekin, about the new data center coming to Pekin.

They address the pushback and negativity surrounding the project, explain what the data center means for the community, discuss potential impacts on electricity prices, and highlight how the development will bring real jobs and real economic investment to Pekin. The conversation also focuses on the idea that while people may be afraid of change, growth and progress often require embracing it.
