Franklin County Planning Commission to Vote on Data Center Proposals
Franklin County's Planning and Zoning Commission will evaluate two major data center projects, which could significantly impact the local economy and environment. The outcomes may set precedents for future developments in the area.

On Tuesday, the Franklin County Planning and Zoning Commission will deliberate on rezoning requests associated with two substantial data center projects: the Meramec Valley Technology Park and the Gateway Digital Campus. These developments are positioned as significant economic opportunities, potentially marking the largest investments in the county's history.
However, local residents have expressed concerns regarding environmental impacts, including noise, lighting, and effects on the Meramec River. The commission will also review new regulations for future data center development, which would require further approval from the Franklin County Commission. The results of this meeting could have lasting implications for land use and community welfare.
