Officials in Meade County, Kentucky, specifically the Meade County Fiscal Court, rejected a proposal to rezone a 138-acre site on Joe Prather Highway for a data center development. The vote followed fierce public opposition driven by concerns over the facility's extensive water and electricity usage, its anticipated environmental impact, and the perceived urgency of the planning process.
