Perryville Revises Ordinance to Regulate Data Centers Amid Industry Growth
Perryville, MO, is updating its ordinance to regulate data centers, ensuring transparency and environmental considerations. A public meeting is planned to discuss these changes following significant developments in the data center sector.

Perryville city officials are revising an ordinance to clarify the handling of potential data centers, following a recent announcement regarding a new data center campus in Paducah, KY. The draft ordinance emphasizes transparency, prohibiting non-disclosure agreements and mandating public processes and hearings.
Data centers will be restricted to the city’s industrial park and must use a closed-loop water system to address environmental concerns. A public presentation is set for late August to inform residents about the proposed regulations. Balancing benefits and drawbacks of data centers is the city's goal, as community opinions are divided on this development.
