Source notes
St. Louis Board of Public Service approved the conditional use permit 5-0 on 2026-04-22; the Board of Adjustment upheld/amended it on 2026-07-30. No tenant has been named as of August 2026; targeted for full operation by end of 2028. Officially branded the 'Armory Innovation District.'
Conditional use permit requires renewables to supply 50% of the center's power in its first five years and 100% within 10 years, plus 2.4 MW of renewable energy on the site. Developer TerraWatt's Sept. 2026 certiorari petition calls the renewable conditions 'practically impossible on the 11-acre site'. Utility not named.
