Lexington City Council Extends Data Center Construction Moratorium Through October 2027

Lexington City Council Extends Data Center Construction Moratorium Through October 2027

The Lexington City Council has voted to extend a temporary ban, or moratorium, on data center construction within the city until October 2027. This decision comes as local governments across Kentucky grapple with how to regulate hyperscale data centers. Concurrently, Mercer County Fiscal Court unanimously rejected proposed regulations that would have permitted hyperscale data centers near a coal-fired power plant, citing proximity to the historic Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill. In Carroll County, ethics complaints have been filed against city council members regarding potential conflicts of interest in land deals for proposed data centers. These local actions are taking place amidst calls from over 60 Kentuckians for state lawmakers to implement more comprehensive regulations for large data centers, rather than leaving the burden solely on local authorities. State Representatives Adam Moore (D-Lexington) and Josh Bray (R-Mount Vernon) are reportedly preparing legislation on data center regulations for the...

Louisville Unveils First Public AED Tower on Bardstown Road, Enhancing Cardiac Arrest Response

Louisville Unveils First Public AED Tower on Bardstown Road, Enhancing Cardiac Arrest Response

Louisville, Kentucky, has launched its first publicly accessible Automated External Defibrillator (AED) tower on Bardstown Road. This SaveStation provides 24/7 access to a life-saving device designed to assist individuals experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. The tower is equipped with technology that automatically takes pictures and sends text alerts to emergency responders when opened. This initiative stems from the personal experience of Trey Mobley, a sudden cardiac arrest survivor, whose life was saved by the timely use of an AED and CPR. Mobley, along with his family and Saint Xavier High School graduate Jayden Pacheco, won a video contest that led to the installation of this crucial public health resource. The executive director of the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation, Gina Peattie, emphasized the importance of AEDs being available around the clock, not locked away, to maximize their life-saving potential. Matt McKeown of SaveStation noted that the device provides clear, step-by-step instructions for ...

Owensboro YMCA Secures $850,000 Grant to Expand Childcare Services Amidst Local Shortage

The Owensboro YMCA has received an $850,000 grant from the Daviess County Fiscal Court to significantly expand its childcare program. This funding comes in response to Owensboro being designated a 'childcare desert,' following the closure of four local childcare centers. YMCA officials have already increased their capacity from 40 to approximately 200 children and plan further expansion. Kristi Harrison, YMCA Chief Development Officer, emphasized the community's support and the organization's commitment to addressing local childcare needs. County Judge Executive Charlie Castlen highlighted the collaborative effort between state, county, and city entities, noting that adequate childcare is crucial for the local economy, as its absence can prevent individuals from participating in the workforce. This new grant builds on a previous $6.6 million federal grant received earlier this year, which is designated for constructing a new facility at Kentucky Wesleyan College, capable of serving an additional 150 childr...

MSJ Art Design Students Explore Frank Duveneck's Cincinnati Legacy Through Experiential Learning

Mount St. Joseph University (MSJ) Art & Design students recently participated in an experiential learning program to trace the life and work of American artist Frank Duveneck. This initiative, supported by a Germany on Campus grant from the German Embassy, allowed students to explore Duveneck's German heritage and artistic education by visiting significant locations in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky connected to his life. Instead of solely relying on textbooks, students visited Duveneck's childhood home and studio in Covington, Kentucky, and saw his artwork in Mother of God Church and the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption. They also visited his gravesite at Mother of God Cemetery and studied his works at the Cincinnati Art Museum. This immersive approach provided students with a firsthand understanding of how artists, institutions, and communities contribute to a city's cultural history. The program highlighted Duveneck's artistic journey from Cincinnati to Munich, Germany, for his studies and back, s...
