ECONOMY NEWS

  • Economic development advocates support a $2 billion data center proposal in Union Township near Wheeler High School as QTS Data Centers — a suburban Kansas City firm — plans to build on the 800-acre Johnson Farm site to create up to 175 jobs and add $10 million in tax revenue. Local residents oppose the project — citing concerns over noise, health risks and loss of rural character — and their worries echo previous rejections of similar proposals in the county.  NWI Times
