Summary
A massive $3 billion data center planned for Midtown St. Louis’ old Famous-Barr warehouse is facing delays and fierce debate. The city’s Board of Adjustment postponed a key hearing until July 29 after one applicant requested more time, while residents voice concerns over energy, noise, and environmental impact. Supporters tout a potential $423 million in tax revenue over ten years. Meanwhile, the city’s Board of Aldermen prepares to vote on new zoning rules for data centers this Friday, aiming to regulate energy, water, and noise — all while the mayor’s earlier delay request remains unresolved. The future of this city’s biggest data center is still very much up in the air. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
