• Ferguson neighbors divided over Project Butterfly data center as organizers push for referendum (ksdk.com) — Ferguson residents are sharply split over the massive Project Butterfly data center planned for the former Emerson Electric campus, which the city council has already approved with major tax incentives. Neighbors worry about noise, environmental impacts, and property values, while organizers race to collect signatures for a referendum that could overturn the council’s decision or force a citywide vote on the project’s future.
