Maysville, Kentucky residents face displacement following the Mason County Fiscal Court's approval of zoning for a 2,000-acre data center. Many residents are expressing concerns and considering legal action as they prepare to move from their homes.
Residents in Maysville, Kentucky, are facing forced relocation after the Mason County Fiscal Court approved zoning for a 2,000-acre data center project. Homeowners are expressing deep discomfort, with one resident stating they were comfortable in their homes and now have nowhere comparable to relocate.
The Fiscal Court's decision on Friday night came despite previous indications that a group of Mason County residents intended to file a lawsuit if the plans were approved. This case is now set to proceed, and residents are attempting to prepare for their displacement, seeking guidance on next steps for property management and relocation, with some given as little as three months to vacate. The county maintained that adequate information was provided to demonstrate the project's economic development benefits.
