St. Louis Data Center Proposal Revised with $3 Billion Budget
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
A revised proposal for a data center at the Midtown Armory in St. Louis has a budget exceeding $3 billion and aims to minimize energy consumption while preserving the Armory's exterior. The project, which includes partial demolition of the Barr Warehouse, has raised concerns among local residents regarding environmental impacts and potential tax incentives for tech companies.
If approved, it could generate nearly $500 million for the city and St. Louis Public Schools in the first decade.
