Summary

Jim Goebel and Matthew Porter are two leading voices in the Data Center value prop argument here in the STL Region. Given their experience in the field, as well as telecom, and their entrepreneurial visions, we discuss how and why St. Louis could benefit greatly from the new wave. They lay out the argument for leaning into the taboo, explaining why it shouldn’t be scary, why we can integrate the new technology into our existing footprint & infrastructure, and why if we don’t... someone else will. #datacenters #ai #stlouis #midwest #water #rivers #wealth #policy #growth #opportunity
