St. Louis Data Center Proposal Revised with $3 Billion Budget
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
A new proposal for a data center at the Midtown Armory in St. Louis has a budget of over $3 billion. The project involves the Armory site along Highway 64, which closed in September 2024.
The design aims to reduce energy consumption and includes partial demolition of the Barr Warehouse, while keeping the Armory's exterior intact. Local residents have expressed concerns about environmental impacts and potential tax incentives for tech companies.
If approved, the city and St. Louis Public Schools could receive nearly $500 million in the first 10 years.
