NKY family turns down $26 million for land, fending off data center interest

The Huddleston family in Northern Kentucky has rejected a $26 million offer for their 1,200 acres of farmland, which has been in Delsia Bare's family for generations. The offer came from an unnamed Fortune 100 company interested in developing the land for a data center. The family is determined to protect their legacy and the agricultural land that provides food for dinner tables across the region. The family expresses significant concerns about the potential environmental and community impacts of data center development. They fear the land would be destroyed, leading to the loss of animals, homes, farms, and critical resources like water. This ongoing dispute in Mason County is seen as a pivotal moment that could reshape the future of the community, with the family standing firm against the development.
