Lawsuit filed over approval of proposed Franklin data center project

A citizens group in Franklin, Kentucky has filed a lawsuit challenging the City of Franklin Planning and Zoning Commission's approval of a large-scale data center project. The lawsuit argues that the commission improperly treated the development as a permitted use despite earlier indications it should require additional review. Concerns are also raised about potential noise and odor impacts from the project's on-site power generation.
