The second developer-sponsored “community engagement” town hall on data center 1 (of at least 2) starts at 5:30 p.m. today at 2319 Chouteau.

Let me know if you see any live-streaming options.

9th ward Ald. Browning issues statement opposing the two #DataCenterSTL proposed for the #ArmoryTIF district.

"Decisions about data centers should be delayed until the City can establish appropriate regulations that prioritize people instead of nameless tech companies"

Ald. Browning:
“Approving the conversion of the Armory and its neighboring properties into a dead space with minimal jobs and a lack of foot traffic would go against sound planning practices, and kill the momentum of the area”

Stay tuned for details.

Greenstreet CEO Phil Hulse signed the permit application documents.
In addition to the $2.7 M owed in property taxes (2022-25) for #3728Market , Hulse owes 2025 taxes for the #ArmoryTIF building at #3660Market & on Greenstreet HQ at #4565McRee
Ask SLDC for the status of PACE loan payments on Armory.

Don’t believe the projected tax revenue figures from the developer for #500Prospect in #ArmoryTIF district.
City officials have shown little appetite for scrutinizing a developer’s financial claims.
See #JeffArmsCID & #JeffArmsPID for recent failures of the BOA & SLDC to check a developer’s math
September 25, 2025 at 1:28 PM
Has anyone received an email from Steadfast City/Rod Thomas-THO Investments with answers to all questions submitted at the two developer-propaganda-town-hall meetings held on October 9 & 13?

I suspect SLU’s lobbyist has briefed President Feser on the proposed data center in the #SLU363.
Handy that said lobbyist also represents #datacenterSTL developer THO investments/RodThomas.

🔥💯 agreed on the necessity for SLDC to rescind the designation of Greedstreet as developer for the #ArmoryTIF district.

Best I can tell, SLDC is still facilitating the #GreenStreetBailout, currently plotting to enable the development of one to four data centers.
What?? Why doesn’t LCRA and @developstlouis.bsky.social rescind Green Street??? As “developer” for Armory????? Dammit. They own the Goodwill building which is in the TAX SALE. next year.
Finally! #LCRAstl has rescinded Goodson's "developer designation"

"But progress on Cleveland H.S. failed to materialize, and months after Goodson became the site’s designated redeveloper, his grocery store venture Fields Foods collapsed, closing all locations and resulting in multiple lawsuits. "

I suspect that the projected tax revenue shared by consultants Steadfast-Propaganda-City are way too high.

FYI: David Sweeney lobbies for developer THO Investments & SLU.

Not mentioned on 10/9: The #SLU353 can authorize up to 25 years tax abatement for the #500Prospect #datacenterSTL

Question for @caraspencer.bsky.social
@saintlouispres.bsky.social

Where is the applicant’s information (required by Executive Order 92) for the #500Prospecr data center proposal posted online for public review prior to the 9/25 conditional hearing?

Calling @caraspencer.bsky.social !

GreenStreet/TriStar Properties should withdraw the application to build a data center at #500Prospect, within the #ArmoryTIF district (image 4)

FYI: GreenStreet owes the City of St. Louis over $2.1 M in delinquent property taxes. See #DeadbeatDeveloper for info.
September 11, 2025 at 8:52 PM
1) St. Louisans deserve an update from Mayor @caraspencer.bsky.social on the status of the #datacenterSTL at #500Prospect

2) St. Louis Development Corp. should nullify the #ArmoryTIF development agreement with Greenstreet.
GS owe over $2.1 M in back taxes on the Goodwill warehouse at #3728Market

Be wary of promises that are not in writing.

FYI: SLDC has 30 days to review projects for which St. Louis Midtown Redev. Corp.* wants to authorize tax abatement. SLDC's review is conducted in secret.

The #ArmoryTIF district is eligible for up to 25 years tax abatement.

* #SLU353 Master developer
This whole proposal is a mess in a myriad of ways, and I don't trust the tax generation numbers at all, but it is good to see a rather firm swearing off of tax abatement by SLU/Midtown Redevelopment. BoA should terminate the existing TIF encompassing the site, though.

Calling GreenStreet CEO Phil Hulse!

For #GiveSTLDay , show your support for the City of St. Louis and SLPS by paying ALL your delinquent tax bills.

#ArmoryTIF + #ArmoryDataCenter + #4565McRee = $3.185 M.

FYI; #3728Market (Goodwill warehouse) is in Land Tax Sale #237 on 6/9/26.

It’s nauseating to see developers - who have received tax abatements &/or TIF/other incentives - appealing their real estate tax assessments.

Greenstreet has 6 properties on the list, inc. #ArmoryTIF & #3728Market
Phil Hulse (GS CEO) owes over $2 M on 3728 😡

🚨 #DataCenterSTL pitch in #ArmoryTIF district!

“However, it's not clear what tax incentives may be included in the proposed project or what existing tax incentives from the original development will carry over to the new project. Those details could offset the actual impact on the city’s tax base”
