Google (filed as Related Digital). Approved.

Google's Project Spade data center campus, developed by Related Digital, sits on about 780 acres in Montgomery County and 130 acres in the city of New Florence, at the Interstate 70 and Highway 19 interchange. The plan was amended from three buildings totaling about 1.08 million square feet to two buildings of roughly 800,000 square feet each, using closed loop, non evaporative air cooling. Google is investing 15 billion dollars in Missouri infrastructure overall and is working with Ameren to add 500 megawatts of new power capacity, on top of a gigawatt it has already contracted in the state.
