From the meeting
On August 24, 2026, Joplin considered and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of Council Bill 2026-271 to adopt specific use standards for data centers. The ordinance defined data centers, limited them to M-2 Heavy Industrial, and imposed setback, noise, lighting, utility, wastewater, and generator requirements. This is a policy move that signals future data center projects will need site plans, utility agreements, and technical documentation.
