The news was revealed by Colby Kirk, president and CEO of the privately funded regional economic development organization One East Kentucky.
“Data centers are getting a lot of attention, just in general right now. It is important to note this project is very early in the process of where it’s at. The documents that have been shared from the industrial authority include a joint development agreement,” he said.
