Developer withdraws annexation, rezoning applications from proposed data center site
The developer of a proposed data center on Pickett Road in St. Joseph, Missouri, has withdrawn its applications for annexation and rezoning with the city. This decision follows expressions of concern from local residents regarding the project. The landowner, Steve Craig, spoke with News-Press about his decision.
The landowner, Steve Craig, behind the proposed data center project at 5701 Pickett Road in St. Joseph, Missouri, has officially withdrawn the applications for annexation and rezoning. These applications were originally filed with the City of St. Joseph by Capstone Technology Campus LLC, a entity associated with the project.
The decision to withdraw the applications comes amidst local opposition to the project, as evidenced by a concerned resident, Tammy Bergland, who lives on Pickett Road and was protesting the development. Craig confirmed his decision to pull the applications in an interview with the News-Press on Friday evening, though the specific reasons for the withdrawal were not detailed in the provided text.
The withdrawal means the proposed data center project will not proceed as initially planned under these specific applications. The future of a data center development at this location remains uncertain following this action.
