@kcur893 A historic building in downtown Kansas City could be demolished for a 20-story data center. The project has already received significant resistance from local residents and community groups, but now there’s questions about whether the developer even wants to build it. The Miami-based private equity fund, Revitalization Unlimited, has proposed tearing down the Western Newspaper Union building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. But even the developer’s CEO admits he’s not sure if the data center tower plan is financially viable. KCUR’s Cassandra Isobelle Flores reports on what’s going on with this data center proposal. 🎤Hosted by Cassandra Isobelle Flores 📹Filmed and produced by Zach Perez 🖥️Edited by Gabe Rosenberg #kansascity #datacenter #ai ♬ original sound - KCUR - Kansas City
