From Leader Publications: CRG of St. Louis announced it will conduct its third webinar regarding the company’s proposed data center development project in Festus from 6:00 – 7:00PM on Wednesday, September 23, via WebEx.
The webinar is to feature guest speaker Jeff Barnard, global practice manager at Burns & McDonnell, who will give a presentation on water requirements.
CRG of St. Louis announced in late 2025 its plan to develop a hyperscale data center on 361 acres north of Hwy. 67 and west of Hwy. CC. CRG, which is the St. Louis-based data center development arm for Clayco, has estimated the cost of developing the facility at $6 billion. In the Festus project, CRG would develop the property, and then a data center company would operate it, although no operator has yet been identified.
Previous CRG data center development project webinars first presented on July 22 and Aug. 25 may be viewed on the Festus Forward website. Those interested in registering to view the new webinar or to submit a question for Barnard may do so at festusforward.com.
