Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of October 9, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Diamond Farms (Gateway Digital Campus) in Villa Ridge, Franklin County, Missouri appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.

Notes on the record

Franklin County Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval 5-4 on 2026-04-21/23. On 2026-09-15 the Franklin County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved rezoning for this project (reported by Spectrum News as the 'Gateway Digital Campus', planned near the Shaw Nature Reserve along I-44) and for a second, separate project. Spectrum reports that a developer has contacted the county to proceed and that the county still has to review board regulations not yet sent to it, so rezoning is not construction approval. Also marketed by the developer as 'Gateway Digital Campus.' The companion Crooked Creek (Beltline Energy) proposal in the same county was reported withdrawn on 2026-08-07; the 2026-09-16 Spectrum report describes a Beltline Energy Project south of Pacific as also rezoned, which this dataset has not reconciled and does not include here.

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
Cooling method and water use
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
How the community has received it
Which utility serves it

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.
Cooling method and water use: The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy: The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
How the community has received it: Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
Which utility serves it: The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
