@lex18news: BURGIN FIGHTS BACK: Hundreds of residents packed a Burgin city council meeting to voice fierce opposition to a proposed data center that could span 10 farms between Burgin and Shaker Village. Many say the project threatens historic farmland, water resources, utility reliability and their way of life, while accusing city leaders of a lack of transparency. During the meeting, Burgin's mayor also resigned, adding another twist to the growing controversy. A second reading on the proposal is set for July 20, with some calling for voters to have the final say in November. #mercercounty #kentucky #datacenter

Just greenlighting it anyway is a real Mercer county energy. Look into a way to get financial disclosures from city council members. There ass obviously a kickback for them.

The jokes on all of us residents… it’s too late at this point. The vote is just for show. Ppl need to do their research & see that these centers are popping up all of the US. It’s way bigger than the local authorities at this point.

the full story is crazy. Mecer county told them we didn't want it so the DC developers offered burgin 25k to annex the land into burgin city limits because burgin doesn't have a P&Z commission so the council can just let it happen with no community input. All of this is because Brian Luftman wit American Farm Investment ( a company that claims to buy and protect farm land) stands to make a few million bucks. Mercer county (Harrodsburg and Burgin) have shown that the people do not want this by a majority.

Watch and see how many people on the city Council get new trucks buy new homes pay off loans because they’re definitely not working for you. They’re working for the data center.
