Today marks four weeks since the first of two #developerpropaganda town hall meetings for the first data center in the #ArmoryTIF district.

Consultant Steadfast City ran the Oct. 9 & 13 meetings, which featured “subject matter experts.”

Why haven’t the promised answers been provided to attendees?

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.

I’m also curious about the revenue claims made at the developer’s propaganda town halls.
It’s three weeks tomorrow since the first town hall. I haven’t received an email from THO consultant Steadfast City with responses to the Qs not answered at the meetings.

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.

* #SLU353 Master developer
This whole proposal is a mess in a myriad of ways, and I don't trust the tax generation numbers at all, but it is good to see a rather firm swearing off of tax abatement by SLU/Midtown Redevelopment. BoA should terminate the existing TIF encompassing the site, though.

I suspect SLU’s lobbyist has briefed President Feser on the proposed data center in the #SLU363.
Handy that said lobbyist also represents #datacenterSTL developer THO investments/RodThomas.

🚨 #DataCenterSTL pitch in #ArmoryTIF district!

“However, it's not clear what tax incentives may be included in the proposed project or what existing tax incentives from the original development will carry over to the new project. Those details could offset the actual impact on the city’s tax base”

#BOAbreaking

Per a post by Ald. Schweitzer this morning on Instagram: the petitioners (Rod Thomas of Tristar Properties/THO Investments) has asked for a continuation of the conditional use hearing on the #500Prospect site of a #DataCenterSTL

GreenStreet/TriStar Properties should withdraw the application to build a data center at #500Prospect, within the #ArmoryTIF district (image 4)

FYI: GreenStreet owes the City of St. Louis over $2.1 M in delinquent property taxes. See #DeadbeatDeveloper for info.

Has anyone heard from consultant Steadfast City, which ran the Oct. 9 & 13 meetings?

“Nick Hartzler, a senior project manager with Steadfast City, said the developers do not “currently plan” to seek local tax breaks but could apply for a state program that allows certain data centers exemptions on sales and use taxes.”

#ArmoryTIF wasn’t mentioned. 👀

It’s nauseating to see developers - who have received tax abatements &/or TIF/other incentives - appealing their real estate tax assessments.

Greenstreet has 6 properties on the list, inc. #ArmoryTIF & #3728Market
Phil Hulse (GS CEO) owes over $2 M on 3728 😡

Prediction: Armory building will be data center no. 2
Data center 3: Goodwill warehouse (3728 Market) & adjoining property at 3852 Market.
Both properties owned by Greenstreet.
Over $2.1 M owed in delinquent real estate taxes for 3728 & 3852.

Data center 4: 700 S. Spring; owned by THO.

9th ward Ald. Browning issues statement opposing the two #DataCenterSTL proposed for the #ArmoryTIF district.

"Decisions about data centers should be delayed until the City can establish appropriate regulations that prioritize people instead of nameless tech companies"

“Approving the conversion of the Armory and its neighboring properties into a dead space with minimal jobs and a lack of foot traffic would go against sound planning practices, and kill the momentum of the area”

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

Today marks two weeks since the second of two meetings hosted by the developer’s consultant on the proposed data center at #500Prospect in the #ArmoryTIF district.

I have yet to receive an email from Steadfast City addressing resident questions that were not answered on Oct. 9 & 13.
Has anyone received an email from Steadfast City/Rod Thomas-THO Investments with answers to all questions submitted at the two developer-propaganda-town-hall meetings held on October 9 & 13?
