Spencer administration delays permit vote on $3B data center project

St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer's administration delayed a crucial vote by the Board of Public Service on a conditional use permit for a $3 billion data center project in Midtown. The project, which would convert a former Famous-Barr warehouse into a data center, has faced controversy due to environmental and electricity cost concerns. The timing of the rescheduled vote remains unclear, with the mayor emphasizing the need for more due diligence.
