Kentucky Industrial Alliance Inc.

A hyperscale data center developer is suing to build next to KY’s only national park

Kentucky Industrial Alliance Inc. has filed two lawsuits against Cave City, challenging a yearlong data center moratorium and the annexation of its property near Mammoth Cave National Park. The developer seeks to build a $4.8 billion hyperscale data center, but faces opposition over environmental concerns, high power and water usage, and potential strain on local infrastructure. The legal battle will test cities' abilities to regulate large-scale industrial projects.
