Franklin County data center projects return to planning commission Tuesday with frustration about the process

Two data center projects in Franklin County, Missouri - the Gateway Digital Campus and a Beltline Energy project - are seeking to rezone agricultural land for industrial use, sparking opposition from a local family farm that has operated for seven generations. The projects will be considered by the Franklin County Planning and Zoning Commission, which previously tabled the Gateway project for six months but is now reconsidering it.
