Residents in Boyd County, Kentucky, are continuing to voice their strong concerns regarding a new data center project, identified as the Terror Wolf data center, being built on the East Park Industrial Site. Following a heated town hall discussion, a crowd gathered at the Boyd County Fiscal Court meeting on Tuesday afternoon to express their environmental concerns and advocate for regulatory measures.
Residents are urging county leaders to implement regulations for future data companies looking to build on private land. They cited potential ordinances adopted by other counties as models, which would add requirements to minimize environmental harm to the surrounding community. Boyd County Executive Eric Haney indicated that questions regarding the East Park facility, which were unanswered during Monday night's town hall, would be addressed by Terror Wolf at another meeting. The Fiscal Court is considering an ordinance designed to establish guidelines and a checklist for data center development without stopping business entirely.
