No statewide data center moratorium has advanced in Missouri as of November 2026, with the regular legislative session ending in May without a vote and only local pauses enacted in counties such as Jackson, St. Charles, and Springfield. These temporary measures, often 120–180 days, allow time to study grid strain, water use, and zoning impacts from hyperscale projects. Major announcements including Google’s $15 billion and Amazon’s $10 billion campuses in Montgomery County highlight economic incentives, yet face pushback over large-load tariffs and emissions. Lawmakers have signaled potential AI and data center legislation for the January 2027 session, which traders view as the next realistic window amid ongoing local regulatory tightening.
