Project Bluegrass is a proposed hyperscale data center campus being developed by Panattoni Data Centers on approximately 900 to 1,000 acres near Burgin in Mercer County, Kentucky, roughly 28 miles southwest of Lexington.
The multi-phase development features four initial buildings utilizing closed-loop liquid cooling systems to minimize environmental impact. The project is currently at the center of a local planning jurisdictional dispute, as Burgin city council members pursue the annexation of over 1,000 acres to enable municipal approval and bypass a one-year data center construction moratorium enacted by Mercer County.
With an expansive international platform, Panattoni Development Company, Inc. specializes in industrial, office and build-to-suit development. Our 53 offices in the United States, Canada ,Europe and Asia are responsible for development of over 578 million square feet. Each office is rooted in the local community with strong partnerships that produce the best results for our clients in each region.
