Beltline Energy

Beltline Energy tabled its rezoning application for a proposed $16 billion data center in Pacific, Missouri, at a special Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on Feb. 25, 2026. The company cited an inability to finalize a funding agreement. The project site is located off Highway O in Franklin County, with the Meramec River along the northern edge. The Pacific Board of Aldermen had previously approved a contract with Beltline Energy to fund expert consultants for the city. A packed auditorium of opponents shouted in frustration when the request was pulled. GCs and subs should monitor this project for resumption of the rezoning process.
