Calls for transparency mount as KY data center development continues
Louisville residents and elected officials raised concerns about data center development in Kentucky, citing environmental impact, water usage, noise, and utility costs during a public town hall. U.S. Rep. Morgan McGarvey opposed hyperscale data centers in Louisville and questioned LG&E on how it will meet energy demand without impacting ratepayers. The Louisville Metro Planning Commission approved a revised plan for the city's first hyperscale data center, while the Metro Council proposed new draft regulations.
