Officials in Joplin, Missouri, have approved a significant rezoning and annexation request for the Wildwood Ranch property, transitioning approximately 600 acres from residential to heavy industrial use. The project, led by local developer Jimmer Pinjuv of Wildwood Ranch, LLC, is positioned as a potential hub for an AI-driven data center.
While the end-user has not been formally confirmed by the city, local reports and public records have linked the development to Abits Group, a digital infrastructure company transitioning from Bitcoin mining into the AI sector. The proposal has sparked intense local debate, with the city now requiring over a dozen feasibility studies to assess the long-term impact on utility resources and infrastructure before further development can proceed.
