Regional Attention on Data Centers
The East-West Gateway Council of Governments has undertaken research on data centers as the prospect of local projects becomes a contentious issue in the Louis region.
The agency's director of research services, John Posey, presented the research at a board of directors meeting, focusing on "hyperscale" data centers used by big tech firms like
Meta, Google, OpenAI and others, as they are at the center of the controversy.
A new website has been launched to make the research easily accessible, providing an informational resource on the topic.
