Gateway Digital Campus

The Gateway Digital Campus, located in Villa Ridge, Missouri, is a proposed multi-billion dollar data center development aiming to provide long-term economic value with minimal community impact. The project is designed as a low-impact alternative to high-density development, preserving over 50% of the site as undisturbed green space and establishing 1,000-foot residential setbacks. It is projected to create over 3,000 jobs, including construction, skilled service-sector, and data center positions, and generate an estimated annual tax revenue of over $50 million, representing a significant economic surge for Franklin County. The developer is funding all infrastructure and transmission upgrades, ensuring no additional cost to Ameren customers or local taxpayers. The campus is designed with transparency, environmental stewardship, and responsible operations, including low, unobtrusive sound levels, to be a good neighbor.
