Who pays. Who profits.
The data center buildout is already here. That part is decided. Who carries the water and the power bill, and who walks away with the profit, is not. Answer six questions about your block. Get a straight answer, and the protections that are the price of entry. Every number on this page links to its source.
The buildout is coming. The terms are ours to set.
What one of these actually costs a neighborhood
These are the numbers, not the sales pitch. Tap any to read the source.
Is your block a fit, or a target
Six questions on the real siting factors: water, power, land, who lives nearby, the jobs, and who gets a seat at the table. This sorts fit from unfit. It is voter education, not an engineering review.
Not optional. The price of entry.
A fit on paper still fails families when these are missing. This is the standard the Missouri AI Infrastructure Accountability Act writes into law.
My name is Adam Hopkins. The data centers are coming to north St. Louis. Who pays for them and who profits from them is not decided. The company funds its own power. The company funds its own water. Closed loop cooling, not our aquifer. Match the center to the block, not the block to the center. Where the homes and the schools sit too close, the answer is no, and we say it out loud. Missouri does not just host this industry. Missouri builds what makes it safe. That is wealth that stays.
The buildout is here. The accountability is not. Send it to Jefferson City.
Every number, in the open
