Judge denies preliminary injunction in data center lawsuit

A Greene County Circuit Judge has denied a legal request that would allow a developer to have his data center plans reviewed by Springfield city staff amid the city's moratorium on any data center applications. Springfield has had an administrative pause in place on all data center proposals since late June. NSI A.1 LLC, managed by Trent Overhue, filed a lawsuit in September against the city claiming the moratorium is invalid and, if found to be valid, does not apply to any ordinary preliminary activities for the project proposed as they are not part of any formal application process. Overhue, who is involved in a number of other data center proposals around the Ozarks, owns the property at 2900 S. National Ave. through the LLC. He has proposed a basement-level "high-performance computing data processing facility" in the larger of two buildings at the location. While the property is zoned for a planned development that allows "data processing services" under the use for Administrative and Professional Offices, differences emerged between Overhue's interpretation of what this would allow and the city's. On Friday, Nov. 6, Chad Mann, attorney representing NSI A1, argued for a preliminary injunction to force the city to open
