How the community has taken it
Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: contested means active public debate is on record, with hearings, petitions, or organized opposition, without litigation.
Preserve Montgomery County LLC (coalition of local residents, farmers, and business owners) filed a 10-count lawsuit in February 2026 alleging Missouri Sunshine Law violations, specifically that county commissioners conducted negotiations in closed sessions and signed NDAs with Amazon. Community concerns at public meetings included water usage impacts, potential electric rate increases, and loss of rural character. Some residents and officials expressed support for the project's economic benefits. Construction proceeded despite the pending suit. Montgomery County Commission stated real property taxes are not abated and projected the project would double the county's tax revenue at full buildout.
Power and water
Powered by Ameren Missouri grid. AWS committed to working with Ameren to ensure project energy costs are not passed to other ratepayers. AWS announced a separate 138MW renewable energy project in Missouri (not confirmed as on-site or dedicated to this campus).
Water sourced from Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer via wells drilled to ~1,500 ft depth (to avoid impacting local private wells at shallower depths). Initial phase projected at 2.9M gallons/year; full 17-building campus projected at ~50M gallons/year (~0.137 MGD equivalent). Regional aquifer capacity exceeds 23 trillion gallons; current regional utilization ~8%; this project adds ~0.03%. On-site stormwater management ponds and water treatment plant planned. Cooling methodology not publicly specified.

Notes on the record
Codename 'Project Green'; application filed via NorthPoint Development, LLC. Two-phase build-out: Phase 1 = 8 data center buildings; Phase 2 = 13 additional buildings (21 total). Located on ~1,000 acres at northeast quadrant of I-70 and Highway 19 interchange near New Florence. Official AWS/Governor Kehoe announcement on June 15, 2026 cited a $10B investment commitment. Earlier county planning documents and initial filings referenced a maximum capital investment ceiling of up to $35B, that figure is a speculative ceiling, not a committed amount. AWS separately announced a 138MW renewable energy project in Missouri; not confirmed as dedicated to this campus. Community investments included in announcement: $3M for county 911/emergency dispatch upgrades, $3M for community programs, $1M for Montgomery County Fairgrounds, $150K community fund, $50K teacher grant. Preserve Montgomery County LLC filed suit in February 2026 alleging ten counts of Missouri Sunshine Law violations (closed-session negotiations, NDAs with Amazon); case pending as of mid-2026. First buildings targeted operational by 2027; full campus potentially complete ~2032. Coordinates are approximate (parcel centroid at I-70 / Hwy 19 NE quadrant). Jobs: KOMU reported ~400 permanent jobs; DCD's coverage of the same $10B announcement cited no specific permanent figure (only 'thousands of construction jobs'), permanent count left unstructured pending firm corroboration.
What the record does not establish, and the document that would
In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.
- Power capacity in megawatts
- Permanent jobs promised
Which document closes each gap
- Power capacity in megawatts
- The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
- Permanent jobs promised
- The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
