Questions on Armory data center’s scope, environmental impact remain unanswered months later

Months after receiving a 44-question survey, the developer behind a proposed data center at the Armory in Midtown St. Louis has yet to answer the city's questions about the project's scope and environmental impact. The lack of transparency has frustrated community and environmental groups, who have pushed back against the project and new data center proposals throughout the region. Meanwhile, new data center projects have emerged in other Missouri cities, with continued opposition from local residents.
