Data Center Bill on Hold | St. Louis News

St. Louis’ data center zoning bill hits pause as aldermen delay vote until next Tuesday, risking a summer recess deadline. With 11 amendments already introduced—some targeting smaller facilities—the bill faces scrutiny over rushed passage and complex details. Sponsored by Alderwoman Anne Schweitzer, it aims to regulate location, energy use, and noise, especially after recent approvals sparked public demand. Critics like Aldermen Cohn and Aldridge urge more time to refine the legislation, while proponents argue it’s essential for managing growth and environmental responsibility. Though the Planning Commission endorsed it, revised amendments require re-review. A special session during summer break may still salvage the vote.
