SOURCE RECORD

Beltline Energy Meramec Valley Technology Park (Crooked Creek): source record

suspended

Status set to suspended rather than cancelled: Beltline withdrew the CITY of Pacific zoning application on 2026-08-08, but the project could still proceed through the Franklin County Commission, and the county rezoning application (12 parcels, ~490 acres at roughly 684 Phelan Road) remained in the county process. Acreage conflict: 490 acres (DCD) vs 495-500 acres (missouridatacenters.org). Vote margin conflict: reported as 5-4 by missouridatacenters.org and as 4-5 elsewhere; DCD states only a one-vote margin. 16 buildings and $16 billion per missouridatacenters.org; servercountry.org lists 1,300 MW - no MW asserted. Pacific Mayor Debbie Kelley signed a 12-month city moratorium. Ameren Missouri capacity negotiations were reported as ongoing.
