Pena Tony Data Centers

Tension over data center project builds in Burgin, Kentucky

Tension is building in Burgin, Kentucky, over a data center project by Pena Tony Data Centers that requires the annexation of over 1000 acres. Grassroots activists are calling the annexation process manipulative, citing concerns over power, water, and prime farmland. The Burgin City Council is set to reconsider the annexation process after a previous attempt was declared null and void, prompting calls for a statewide moratorium on data center developments.
