Is a Data Center Coming

Jackson County, MO

Patmos Independence Technology Campus (EastGate Commerce Center)

Patmos. Filed, 100 MW

Patmos is under contract to convert an existing warehouse, EastGate Commerce Center Building A2 on South Little Blue Parkway in Independence, into a roughly 285,000 square foot data center that would start at 17.5 megawatts and could grow to 100 megawatts. Patmos applied for its building permit in June 2026, before the city later adopted a data center moratorium, so the project is proceeding under the city's prior rules, though the city does not yet have enough spare power capacity and would need to approve an infrastructure upgrade or let Patmos add onsite backup generation. The Independence City Council postponed a vote on assigning the property's leasehold interest to November 2, 2026, with the land deal expected to close November 12, 2026 pending that approval.

The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 100 MW facility would draw roughly 317,000 to 1.1 million gallons of water a day, about what 3,600 households use.
