AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Data Centers & Local Power: Kentucky’s data center fight is heating up as Mercer County weighs a one-year moratorium and zoning rules, while Louisville just passed a six-month pause on new projects—both driven by concerns over environmental impacts, noise, water use, and utility-rate pressure. Community Opposition: In Mercer County, residents packed hearings and even staged “dirty water” arguments tied to hyperscale projects, showing how the debate is spreading beyond party lines. Youth Safety Lawsuit: In a major case with Kentucky as a plaintiff, states are set to try Meta over alleged harm to children from social media design, with potential damages cited up to $1.4 trillion. Storms & Flood Risk: Severe storms are returning across the Midwest and Plains with damaging winds, hail, and renewed flash-flood threats. Wildlife & Public Health: Kentucky residents are also dealing with wildlife encounters and a broader pet-food recall: Oma’s Pride frozen raw dog food is being pulled in Kentucky and 10 other states over possible salmonella contamination.
