KY’s single largest data center under development near former Ashland steel mill
Rubix Data Centers, a UK-based firm, plans a $12 billion, 2-gigawatt data center near Ashland, Kentucky, at a former steel mill site. The project is facing public skepticism and pressure on the city of Russell to lift a recently enacted 180-day moratorium, as residents raise concerns about electricity and water demands, noise, and environmental impacts.
