Kansas City Council decides fate of proposed 20-story downtown data center

The Kansas City Council on Thursday knocked down a controversial proposal to build a data center skyscraper in downtown. Miami-based Revitalization Unlimited, a real estate investment fund focused on historic properties, proposed earlier this year building a 384-foot, 20-story tower made of brick and glass at 934 Central St., occupied mostly by data center equipment with a retail space on the ground floor, for a business such as a coffee shop. The development plan needed special zoning approval under city code. The project would have involved demolishing the historic Western Newspaper Union building, which has more recently been used for offices and short-term rentals. The developers have said the project was designed to complement the neighborhood, and its character and would be more akin to a telephone exchange from a previous era than a large industrial hyperscale facility. Downtown Kansas City already has a handful of data centers, include in the Star’s former green glass building in the Crossroads. They have said the noise level would be similar to an office building, while the data center would use a closed-loop cooling system that limits water use and would primarily use natural gas fuel cells to produce electricity through a chemical

In Kansas City, Missouri Republicans look to rebound from a year of losses

After Missouri Republicans faced a series of crushing defeats in the midterm elections, the party’s incoming class of senators met near downtown Kansas City to discuss their priorities moving forward. The three-day retreat began on Monday with a reception in the evening, a full day of meetings on Tuesday that included a visit from the governor and a quick breakfast on Wednesday before senators returned to their home districts. Sen. Kurtis Gregory, a Marshall Republican, left the event with a feeling that senate Republicans were broadly aligned in their goals for the upcoming legislative session, which begins on Jan. 6. “Let’s say united for the most part,” Gregory said. “We all want to do certain things and we all have our ideas. It’s going to be a matter of figuring a way to make all of those mesh.” Republicans are seeking to regain their footing after Democratic wins chipped away at their supermajority – a two-thirds hold on both chambers of the General Assembly. However, the party still holds firm majorities in both chambers and every statewide office. Republicans also had a disastrous year for ballot measures as voters shot down a plan to eliminate the income tax with Amendment
