AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Public Health Alert: Kentucky is in the middle of a fast-growing cyclosporiasis outbreak, with federal officials confirming 1,645 cases nationwide and flagging more than 5,100 suspected cases across 34 states; CDC says a linked cluster is likely involving Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky, and experts warn the true number is probably higher because many cases go untested or unreported. Food Safety Guidance: Health officials still haven’t pinned down a single source, but Michigan investigators are pointing to lettuce or salad greens, urging people to avoid bagged lettuce and pre-mixed salad kits and to wash produce carefully; Taco Bell also temporarily pulled limited ingredients at select locations as a precaution while investigators look at possible links. Local Impact in Kentucky: Kentucky health officials report a sharp jump—100 reported cases and 61 confirmed—nearly doubling the state’s usual yearly total, with University of Kentucky experts linking risk to produce like salad mixes, basil, and cilantro. Local Governance & Environment: Calloway County’s Fiscal Court advanced a 12-month data center moratorium in unincorporated areas to study impacts like power demand, groundwater use, cooling water, noise, and stormwater management. Data Center Oversight: The Kentucky PSC is set to hold a public hearing on a proposed electric service agreement for the TeraWulf data center in Hancock County, focusing on whether the contract serves the public interest. Agriculture & Land Use: A Mercer County equestrian business owner is raising concerns about a proposed data center on prime farmland, warning noise could disrupt horse training and reduce property values.
