What the map shows
The map overlays an old plan of Lille, with its neighboring municipalities (Lambersart, La Madeleine, Marcq-en-Barœul, Mons-en-Barœul, Hellemmes, Lezennes, Ronchin, Faches, Loos), on satellite imagery of farmland. The hatched blue outline marks the city of Lille. The grey rectangles represent the buildings of a data center project, and a thin black polygon outlines the overall footprint. The 2 km scale bar allows surfaces to be compared. The image is an illustration made from Fermi America plans in August 2026; it has no detailed legend or figures, and the footprints are schematic.
