Original story posted July 29, 2026:

There is more interest in building data centers in Nodaway County.

That's according to a news release that Nodaway County Economic Development (NCED) posted on its Facebook page Wednesday morning (July 29).

The notice from executive director Josh McKim says they have held preliminary conversations with representatives of two small scale projects.

McKim says the companies made the initial contact. Neither company was actively recruited by NCED, Nodaway County, or any city in the county.

McKim says both projects remain in the preliminary evaluation stage and available information is limited.

McKim says should either project advance, NCED will work to provide timely and accurate public updates while respecting applicable confidentiality requirements.

Bill Oliver has returned to his alma mater as News Director for KXCV/KRNW after leading award winning news operations as part of a career that has also included sports, operations, management, and sales at public and commercial radio stations in Texas, Kansas, and Nebraska.

A 1981 Northwest Missouri State University graduate, Oliver was deeply involved with KXCV and KDLX as a student, hosting music and news programs, calling sports broadcasts, and helping keep the station on the air after the 1979 Administration Building fire.

Oliver says his return is motivated by a desire to be closer to family and to give back to the university and the mentors who helped shape his broadcasting career.
