The above post is great for downstate where as the Census showed. Almost every rural county lost population. Bloomington-Normal is was always a step up from other down state cities other and Champaign Urbana. Bloomington-Normal is actually a nice city to raise a family in compared to Decatur or Danville that have been losing population for decade after decade. Blo-No has a metro of almost 200K. And State Farm insurance has been a major employer there. State Farm is the largest employer at almost 15K jobs alone.

Nice, Thats a
Billion dollar Data center alone. 750,000 sq feet, electric draw power 150 MW. That on the back of a napkin is about the same at ~ 150,000 homes. Correct me if I am wrong. If not that much it has to be at least 100K homes.
BTW Prime's other Data centers are in the single digits in MW draws. Most 8 or 9 MW
