A Jackson County judge is set to rule by the end of the week on whether Independence residents can hold a referendum to cancel tax breaks for a massive data center project. The city council approved the project, offering 90% tax relief, but opponents argue it violates the city charter. Both sides worry about the projects scale and potential impact on future investments. Signature gathering for the referendum continues, with over 100 volunteers collecting signatures daily. The ruling highlights tensions between quick economic gains and community voice in fast-growing suburbs.
