Second data center set to arrive in Independence ahead of moratorium vote
A second data center project by Patmos is underway in Independence, Missouri, just as the City Council considers a temporary moratorium on data center zoning approvals. The project faces community concerns over noise and power supply, with Patmos seeking city approval for an IPL grid upgrade or considering self-generation. Patmos expects its permit applications, submitted before the moratorium vote, will be approved.
