Voters in Madison County say they don't want future data center development

Residents in four Madison County townships overwhelmingly said data center development should not be allowed in their communities. Ballot initiatives in Chouteau, Granite City, Nameoki and Venice townships asked voters whether they support future data center development and construction. Residents in all four townships voted no. Chouteau Township had the most decisive result with 83.27% of the vote against data centers. Other townships voted at least 74% against them. In Illinois, townships are subdivisions of local government that operate alongside cities and villages. The township’s elected board may oversee local infrastructure, such as water and sewer services. Each of the townships included in this advisory measure overlap with Granite City.

Heather Groetecke is a lifelong Granite City resident and led the effort to collect signatures for the initiatives. She said the initiative will send a strong message to policymakers about the will of the voters despite being a nonbinding measure. “I am so stunned by the numbers,” Groetecke said. “The people actually listened and cared about their neighbors to vote no for that.” Groetecke wanted to put a data center moratorium on

St. Louis Public Library’s new CEO Jason Driver has no desire to shake things up

When Jason Driver comes on the job as CEO of St. Louis Public Library in January, he isn’t just replacing a well-respected leader, Waller McGuire, who ran the system for 22 years. He’s also taking over what was recently named the 2026 Missouri Library of the Year. The library system earned the accolade for how it bounced back after the tornado that hit St. Louis in 2025 and temporarily closed two of its branches, reestablishing itself as a community hub (it even opened a lending library for power tools to help neighbors who needed them).
