County Executive Sam Page wants regulation on data center sound
St. Louis County Executive Sam Page is seeking stronger data center regulations, particularly limits and monitoring for noise. The planning commission has sent proposed zoning rules to the county council, which is expected to review them along with Page's request for countywide health department noise oversight.
St. Louis County Executive Sam Page is pressing for additional regulations on noise from data centers throughout St. Louis County. He wants the county health department to oversee noise regardless of which municipality hosts a facility, arguing that data center noise should be treated as a public health issue.
The county planning commission has forwarded proposed data center zoning rules to the St. Louis County Council. The council is expected to review the zoning proposals and Page's noise-monitoring requests in the coming weeks, but no final action has yet been reported.
