Lexington City Council to Hold Public Hearing on Data Center Regulations
The Lexington City Council is scheduled to hold a special public meeting on Tuesday to hear comments and concerns regarding proposed regulations for data centers in Fayette County. This hearing comes after Lexington leaders implemented a pause on all data center projects until October 31. Communities across the state are grappling with the issue of data center development, with some opting for outright bans and others imposing various limits. The draft regulations under consideration in Lexington would prohibit hyperscale data centers, which are the most controversial, while also imposing restrictions on smaller developments. The meeting will take place at 5:30 p.m. in the government center.
