Neighborhood feels ‘boxed in’ with new data center proposed for Southwest Louisville

A new 350,000-square-foot data center is proposed for Southwest Louisville's Rubbertown neighborhood, near an already under-construction mega-data center. Residents and Councilwoman Tammy Hawkins are expressing strong opposition, especially given a Metro Council vote is scheduled for a 6-month data center moratorium. The developer, Dermody, proposed the conversion of a warehouse into a data center just days before the moratorium vote, raising concerns about the timing.
