Nodaway County Residents, Maryville Mayor Express Concerns Over Proposed AI Data Center

Residents and local officials in Nodaway County, Missouri, are actively opposing a proposed $6.3 billion AI data center, 'White Cloud Acres', by Scale Microgrids, citing major concerns over water usage, noise, light pollution, and potential PFAS contamination. The Maryville City Council has already enacted a moratorium on large industrial builds within city limits, while the Nodaway County Commission is exploring options for a county-wide moratorium and regulations on data center development.
