...in SE Kentucky, more specifically.
They had a meeting at the Courthouse today and it drew a large crowd, most of them against the construction on HWY 92.
The owner of the property was there. They agreed to stop all construction for the time being. They will have another meeting in a couple of weeks.
This is personal for me. It is where I was born. It is where my family is buried.
They are attempting to get a 2-year moratorium on any Data Center in Bell County, KY.
This is blood red Trump country.

This is extraordinary! To see the people stand up like this in a deep red county, is encouraging, to say the least.
