Wildwood Ranch Data Park
Joplin, Newton County, MO
Wildwood Ranch Data Park is a planned data center in Joplin, MO, with Wildwood Ranch, LLC named as the developer. Reported capacity is 200 MW. 540 acres annexed / 600 acres rezoned on Joplin's SW side near W 20th St & S Central City Rd for a data-center-ready industrial park; local economic-development listing (Mokan Partnership) cites at least 200MW capacity. Site developer is Jimmer Pinjuv's Wildwood Ranch, LLC; end-user/operator not formally confirmed by the city (local reporting has speculated Abits Group, unverified – not used here). Opposition group 'Joplin Citizens Against Wildwood Ranch Data Center Site' is seeking repeal of the annexation/rezoning and a 12-month moratorium. Pin placed Oct 5, 2026 on the Newton County side of the site (the parcel, SW of Central City Rd & W 20th St, crosses the Jasper/Newton county line); approximate, not the parcel centroid.
