Ferguson officials on Thursday postponed a crucial vote concerning $1.5 billion in tax incentives for a proposed tech hub and data center. The development is slated for the former Emerson campus in the city.
The deferral was initiated by the newly inaugurated Mayor, Adrian Shropshire. Mayor Shropshire, who took office earlier in the week, requested the delay despite the incentive bill having already undergone negotiations before his tenure began.
