Kentucky State Senator Jay Williams has voiced strong criticism against the City of Carrollton and Mayor Rob Adams concerning their management of a data center project's rollout. Senator Williams stated that the city made "serious mistakes" by extending a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for too long, suggesting a lack of transparency in the process.
The criticism comes after a public meeting, which was restricted to Carroll County residents and disallowed press access for on-the-record interviews. Attendees were reportedly asked to submit questions on a sheet, with answers promised online later. While some residents exiting the meeting found it positive and felt their questions were answered, they declined to be identified or appear on camera.
Senator Williams specifically implicated Mayor Adams in signing an NDA related to the project. The senator's remarks highlight concerns over the openness and accountability of local government officials in significant real estate and development deals within the community.
