Wildwood Ranch Industrial Complex

approved

Datacentermap lists this site (W 20th St & S Central City Rd, 64804) as a 200 MW proposed data center; servercountry.org also lists 200 MW; no city or utility document fetched states a MW figure, so none is asserted. Area figures conflict: about 600.4 acres rezoned per the City of Joplin, while missouridatacenters.org describes annexation of 540 acres and rezoning of about 600 acres. James 'Jimmer' Pinjuv owns the surrounding 2,064-acre Wildwood Ranch. A prior 2009 annexation agreement applies to the property. missouridatacenters.org attributes the Wildwood Ranch project to Geronimo Power, which conflicts with the City of Joplin record naming Wildwood Ranch LLC as applicant and with Geronimo's own separately sited eastern Jasper County project; this conflict is preserved. missouridatacenters.org states water may come from Stockton.
