Small business owners are more important as a state's tax incentive investment, especially since COVID-19 is still impacting locally-owned businesses. Tax incentives can identify locally-owned business success, and that identified success can attract the global exports, putting Missouri on the map.

Only if they want massive investment that dramatically expands their taxbase and builds modern infrastructure close to the end users to support a growing futuristic economy. Unfortunately, Columbia city council listens to misguided special interests who live in leftist utopia dreamworld.

City leaders would rather tax the citizens. They don't want the city to grow.

Large data centers can consume up to 5 million gallons of water per day, which is equivalent to the water use of a small city. Additionally, they can draw as much electricity as 100,000 homes or more, significantly impacting local resources. That is simply unacceptable.
