Why now
Why Missouri, why now
Missouri is one of the busiest data-center states in the country, with 10 sites from companies like Google, Edged Energy, Lambda, Meta. The work is steady, it lasts for years, and there are not enough local workers for it.
The trades needed most here: electricians, carpenters, ironworkers. For electricians, the data centers alone need 0.5x as many new workers as Missouri usually adds in a year.
