Springfield City Council to consider pause on data center development
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) – Springfield City Council will consider a measure to put an administrative delay on potential data center development at its next meeting on June 22.
Proposed by city staff, the pause would be 120 days in length to allow for public dialogue and the creation of a public-interest evaluation framework.
If approved, the temporary pause would provide time for city staff to evaluate the city’s existing regulations, conduct technical analysis, gather public input and draft recommendations.
City Manager David Cameron said setting a policy framework before evaluating specific projects is an important step for the community.
“A review would give Springfield the opportunity to better understand data center development, learn from the experiences of other markets and ensure we’re best prepared for the future,” Cameron said.
