"IT’S THE SITE OF A NEW $3 BILLION DATA CENTER, WITH CONSTRUCTION TAKING PLACE OVER THE NEXT NINE YEARS. DE SOTO CITY COUNCILMAN ZACK BRADLEY IS CONCERNED NOISE COULD BE HARMFUL TO HUMAN HEALTH. HE’S LOOKING INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF CHANGING THE CITY’S ORDINANCE TO MAKE SURE THE DEVELOPER, BEAL INFRASTRUCTURE, PROTECTS THE PUBLIC. I THINK THEY CAN MITIGATE SOUND POLLUTION SEVERAL WAYS."

Community members and local officials in Wildwood, MO weigh water supply, electricity rates, and neighborhood buffer rules.
"MOST DESOTO RESIDENTS LIVE NORTH OF THAT HIGHWAY. FOR THAT REASON, IT’S UNLIKE THE SPRING HILL AND GARDNER NOW WITHDRAWN PLANS. THOSE PROPOSALS WOULD HAVE USED LARGELY AGRICULTURAL LAND CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. AND IT’S LARGELY SEPARATED FROM RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS, SO IT’S A GOOD FIT. MUCH LIKE THE INDEPENDENCE DATA CENTER PLAN, THERE’S A PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT, BUT THE DEVELOPERS HAVE A PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES OR PILOT DESIGNED TO HELP DE SOTO SCHOOLS."
