De Soto’s approved data center project doubles in size from initial designs$
Beale Infrastructure's data center project in De Soto, Kansas, has doubled in size after approval from the Planning Commission, sparking significant resident opposition. The expansion affects a payment in lieu of taxes agreement and raises concerns about water and energy usage. Another developer, Digital Realty, is also eyeing the area, while other data center applications in the county have been withdrawn or denied, and moratoriums rejected.
