Mason County, Kentucky, is considering a data center project.

An anonymous developer surveyed around 5,000 acres of land near the Big Pond and Tuckahoe roads. Previous reports have shown that the facility would offer 2.2GW across 2,500 acres of land.

NBC News previously reported that 20 residents had been offered deals to sell their land for significantly above market value.

But the lack of information about the project, as well as general concern about energy prices and the impact of a data center on the environment, has caused a great deal of anger amongst locals, some of whom have formed a 1,600-member Facebook group against the data center.

The Mason County Fiscal Court will discuss the proposal on November 12. In Kentucky, ‘Fiscal Court’ is the term used to describe the legislature and governing body of every county in the state.

Mason County is located in northern Kentucky and borders Ohio. It should not be confused with Mason County, West Virginia, which also borders Ohio.

Although Kentucky has traditionally not been a prominent data center market, there has been a recent influx of interest in the state. This has led to backlash in some counties, including Oldham County, which passed a 150-day data center moratorium in July.
