## Resource

A massive $500 million AI “factory” project in Kansas City, dubbed Project Blitz, is sparking fierce local opposition after developers pulled its vote from the Port Authority. Critics warn of environmental damage, power grid strain, and potential reliance on temporary generators due to insufficient utility capacity. The project, poised to transform an existing facility into a power-hungry AI hub, also faces uncertainty around state tax breaks and Port KC incentives — all while residents push back against more data centers in their communities.
