Christian County residents seek answers on 1,000 megawatt data center project

Christian County residents met with developer Eagle Rock to discuss a proposed $8.8 billion data center project requiring 1,000 megawatts of electricity and approximately 20,000 gallons of water daily. Residents voiced concerns about environmental impacts, transparency, and potential utility rate increases, though Eagle Rock partner Ken Lober assured no increase in customer costs. The project, which promises 500 permanent jobs and $85 million in tax revenue, still needs approval from the Christian County Board.
