Attorney Steve Jeffery outlines the legal and environmental concerns surrounding proposed data centers in rural Missouri, representing groups such as the Pacific Root Coalition and Preserve Montgomery County LLC. He explains issues with water usage, rising utility costs, and the placement of large industrial facilities in agricultural areas. Jeffery emphasizes the lack of transparency in local government negotiations, non-disclosure agreements, and alleged violations of the Sunshine Law, noting that community pushback often arises once developments are already underway. He clarifies that opposition is not to data centers themselves, but to where and how they are implemented.
