Kentucky Farm Data Center Dispute

A proposed AI data center campus in Mason County, Kentucky, has triggered a dispute over farmland, rezoning, utilities, water demand, and the possible use of eminent domain.

Ida Huddleston and Delsia Bare rejected offers exceeding $26 million for family farmland and joined legal opposition after the county approved rezoning covering more than 2,000 acres. Supporters cite hundreds of jobs and infrastructure investment, while the operator and its identity remain undisclosed.
