Koman Eyes Missouri Plot for Data Center

February 10th, 2009 : Rich Miller

The Koman Group is working with officials in Boone County, Missouri to develop a 192-acre tract as a data center, according to local media reports. Koman was one of the developers of a huge speculative project in Illinois that was later leased by Microsoft and will soon become one of the world’s largest data centers.

Ewing Industrial Park has replaced the Koman Group to develop the property.
