Facebook has plans to build an $800 million data center in DeKalb, Ill.
The 907,000-square-foot facility will be the 12th Facebook data center in the country.
The facility will be supported by 100 percent renewable energy and use 80 percent less water than the average data center.
Facebook is partnering with the City of DeKalb, the Kishwaukee Water Reclamation District, and Krusinski Construction Company to help design, build and provide support for infrastructure in the area.
The project was given a 55 percent property tax break for 20 years.
