Topeka leaders schedule special work session on proposed Compass data center
Topeka city leaders are holding a special work session with Compass Datacenters on August 19 to discuss a proposed data center development south of the city. The project recently had its permit denied by the county, though Compass can resubmit its application by August 28. Evergy officials will also attend to discuss potential infrastructure impacts.
Topeka, Kansas, city leaders have scheduled a special work session for August 19 to address questions regarding Compass Datacenters' proposed data center development south of the city. The meeting will allow city officials to directly engage with Compass Datacenters representatives and gather information on the project's potential infrastructure impact from Evergy officials.
The proposed development, located near Burlingame Road, recently faced a setback as Shawnee County denied its permit application earlier this week. However, Compass Datacenters retains the option to submit a corrected application before the August 28 deadline. The special work session is intended for internal discussion and will not include a public comment period, though it will be open for public attendance or online viewing.
