Webinar on St. Louis data center regulations

The City of St. Louis held an informational webinar to discuss newly proposed regulations concerning data center developments. These regulations, introduced last week, aim to confine future data center projects exclusively to a single industrial zone within the city. Specifically, the proposals would prohibit new data center developments in downtown, midtown, and residential neighborhoods. Additionally, the new rules would mandate restrictions on the impacts data centers could have on the city's water infrastructure and the broader environment. A public meeting has been scheduled for May 18th, allowing residents and stakeholders to provide feedback and weigh in on the proposed regulatory changes.
