- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 04 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Wed, 04 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Community Information | Upcoming Symposium

A proposed mixed-use AI infrastructure project—the Fatih Mehmet Sultan II AI Center—is being introduced for public discussion and review.

According to the project overview, the center would:
• Utilize Mississippi River water as part of its energy and cooling system
• Generate an estimated $1.2 billion annually in rebates to East St. Louis and its residents, with projected yearly increases
• Create approximately 3,000 on-site and off-site jobs
• Operate with significantly reduced energy use—reportedly up to 80% less power than traditional data centers
• Be located outside the urban core to avoid disruption while supporting long-term downtown growth and investment

The project team states that construction costs would not burden the City of East St. Louis and that the development is designed to complement, not displace, existing civic and residential life.

Community members, stakeholders, and the public are invited to attend an upcoming symposium to learn more, ask questions, and engage in an open dialogue about the proposal.
