The record, newest first

  1. Port KC said the developer withdrew its bond application; reporting cited a state air permit letter saying Evergy might not have full power by June 1, while Evergy said the site had enough power to run fully. (KSHB 41, June 3, 2026)

  2. A Port KC bond item for Project Blitz was held at the developer's request; written testimony opposing the bonds was attached to the minutes. (Port KC, May 28, 2026)

  3. Lambda announced it would convert an unused 2009-built facility in Kansas City into an AI data center with more than 10,000 NVIDIA GPUs, starting at 24 MW, with launch planned for early 2026. (Lambda, Oct. 28, 2025; Platte County EDC, Oct. 28, 2025; DCD, Oct. 2025)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Under 50 MW at launch; kept because it was proposed in 2025 with stated potential above 100 MW.
  • The Missouri DNR letter cited by KSHB and the testimony was not opened directly.
  • Coordinates are approximate, at the reported address.
