Trent Overhue allegedly withdrew a 10MW data center application for 2900 South National just to let Springfield officials deny it ever existed.
I am uncovering the timeline of deceit regarding the Springfield MO data center moratorium update 2026. After months of filing sunshine requests, I’ve unearthed the planning application for 2900 South National that reveals a high-density data center in a residential basement with near-zero setbacks. Local government maneuvers are attempting to replace local control with CMX-2 zoning changes Springfield MO October 12 meeting residents need to attend.
I’ve spent the last three months researching the environmental impact of AI data centers in Missouri, comparing the efficient Springfield Underground Bluebird fiber project to these "heavy and dirty" residential proposals. Between the Benton County MO land use lawsuits and corruption and the proposed Springfield City Council zoning battleground public record, the fabric of our democratic process is under fire. This isn't just about AI; it's about transparency for everyone moving to Southern Missouri pros and cons 2026. Watch until the end to see the specific zoning dates you MUST attend to save our neighborhoods.
