Jacob Trimble told the briefing that the planning recommendation includes a mandatory predevelopment application for any standard or major data center in unincorporated St. Louis County. "So the recommendation is that any developer that would submit an application for a standard or major data center in unincorporated St. Louis County would be required to submit a predevelopment application," Trimble said, describing required information on economic development impacts, water and electricity use and other topics.
