From solar-powered data centers to unique, highly-secure underground facilities, Missouri is finding new ways to store and protect the world’s data.
With consistent, year-round temperature and easily controlled humidity levels, Missouri’s natural and man-made cave systems provide companies with a one-of-a-kind, highly secure environment with abundant room for future growth.
Missouri’s cost-competitive business environment and access to fiber makes the state an attractive location for data centers. In Missouri, lower costs for energy, talent, and taxes help businesses reduce expenses and maximize profits. Missouri data centers benefit from the presence of a strong cluster of technology firms, fiber, suppliers, and educators throughout the state.
Data centers may also be eligible to receive exemptions from state and local sales taxes associated with a variety of activities necessary to build a new facility or expand an existing facility in Missouri. These sales tax exemptions could include utilities, machinery, equipment, computers, and construction materials and could last for up to 15 years for new facilities and up to 10 years for expanding facilities.
