Agreed. If Prospect is approved, expect more data centers within the #SLU353 & North STL.

It’s gone mighty quiet on the data center front in St. Louis city.
Rest assured, the wheels are in motion to push the proposed facility at #500Prospect through the city’s approval process.

Be wary of promises that are not in writing.
FYI: SLDC has 30 days to review projects for which St. Louis Midtown Redev. Corp.* wants to authorize tax abatement. SLDC's review is conducted in secret.
The #ArmoryTIF district is eligible for up to 25 years tax abatement.

ICYMI: @stlpublicradio.bsky.social coverage of the developer’s first propaganda campaign town hall, held on Oct. 9 via Zoom.
Be warned: any financials provided by consultant Steadfast City for the proposed data center at #500Prospect shouldn’t be trusted.

I suspect that the projected tax revenue shared by consultants Steadfast-Propaganda-City are way too high.
FYI: David Sweeney lobbies for developer THO Investments & SLU.
Not mentioned on 10/9: The #SLU353 can authorize up to 25 years tax abatement for the #500Prospect #datacenterSTL

Screen capture image of the Missouri Ethics Commission webpage (accessed 9/26/25), showing David Sweeney (Lewis Rice) as the registered lobbyist for THO Investments LLC. Rod Thomas of THO Investments is the applicant for a conditional use permit to construct a data center at 500 Prospect, within the Armory TIF district.
Screen capture image from the City of St. Louis YouTube video of the Board of the 7/11/23 HUDZ committee. Public hearing on Board Bill 30. Pictured: lobbyist David Sweeney being sworn in to speak on behalf of developer GreenStreet.
Screen capture image of MEC webpage, showing a list of the active principals for lobbyist David Sweeney (Lewis Rice). Webpage accessed on 9/26/25)
🚨 Yesterday lobbyist David Sweeney registered #DataCenterSTL developer THO Investments as a principal.
Sweeney has steered many projects through the tax incentive approval process. His clients includes St. Louis University which controls the #SLU353.

Question for @caraspencer.bsky.social
@saintlouispres.bsky.social
Where is the applicant’s information (required by Executive Order 92) for the #500Prospecr data center proposal posted online for public review prior to the 9/25 conditional hearing?

You might be curious as to why GreenStreet doesn’t currently have a registered lobbyist.
Given that SLDC is most likely to be facilitating the ongoing #GreenStreetbailout, GS CEO Phil Hulse doesn’t need a lobbyist.

*Correction to the above: The duration of tax abatement for the Armory project is 15 years.
Abatement of up to 25 years can be authorized within the #SLU353 redevelopment area.
Contrary to routine statements from staff, SLDC does have a role in incentivized projects within Chapter 353 redev. area.

Once, twice, maybe three times a #datacenterSTL
Will the city post docs to enable the public to comment on specifics at the 9/25 Conditional Use hearing for the #500Prospect site?
Some docs have been shared at a public meeting of the #SLU353
The #ArmoryTIF district also has 25 years tax abatement.

I presume this home will have a 15 year tax abatement, courtesy of the St. Louis Midtown Redevelopment Corp., the #SLU353 master developer controlled by SLU/SSM.
