Developer challenges Springfield zoning on proposed data center project
Developer Trent Overhue is disputing the City of Springfield's interpretation of its zoning code regarding his proposed data center project at 2900 S. National Ave., arguing it is permitted under existing Planned Development 251 zoning. The city, which recently enacted a 120-day moratorium on data center applications, maintains that a data center is not allowed under current or proposed zoning, leading to a potential lawsuit from Overhue, who has already sued Benton County over a similar moratorium.
