Gov. Beshear's executive order could impact TenKey's Franklin data center

Governor Andy Beshear has issued an executive order requiring data center developers in Kentucky to provide comprehensive plans regarding utility, environmental, tax, and community impacts for state permits. This new statewide regulation could directly affect TenKey's proposed $6 billion data center in Franklin, Simpson County, which previously received contingent approval but is also involved in an ongoing lawsuit challenging a county ordinance restricting tech centers. Local officials are now evaluating how these new state requirements will integrate with existing local approvals and pending legal challenges.

The commission has placed stipulations on TenKey, including monthly updates and public reporting.
