Missourians elected Governor Kehoe to both protect our state's resources and promote Missouri as a premier destination for transformational investment. Data centers strengthen Missouri's economy, create high-paying jobs, and position our state for long-term growth.
Governor Kehoe and his team continue to work with state partners and private industry to ensure that the energy affordability and water availability concerns that accompany these announcements are addressed before moving forward with them.
Additionally, Missouri already has important consumer protection laws that prevent any companies from passing the costs onto the communities of these new centers through Senate Bill 4, which Governor Kehoe signed into law in 2025.
Investments like these will create ripple effects across our economy and help secure opportunities for future generations of Missourians.
