The facility aims to use closed-loop cooling, according to Eagle Rock founding partner Ken Loeber, who was present at an informational session about the project organized by the Christian County Economic Development Corporation on June 2.
Loeber also told Capitol City Now that construction would not begin until 2029 or 2030 even if the facility was approved.
