Madison County Magistrate Brian Combs (Dist. 1) is On the Edge, discussing data centers in Madison County and land use policy

What is Madison County's position on data centers? Judge Executive Regan Taylor has gone on the record saying that Madison County doesn't welcome them. But, The Edge has argued that if there are no ordinances in place, then not wanting them and still getting them is possible. Magistrate Brian Combs disagrees, and says that the County is ready should the situation arise. In this episode, Combs and host and producer, Whitney McKnight, discuss County land use generally, with Combs saying that even though he is opposed to sprawl, it is permissible by the Constitution. For more on that, see The Edge's op-ed, "What if we tax land more, buildings less?"Thanks to Magistrate Combs for taking the time to be On the Edge.For more information, comments, or suggestions, contact The Edge ateditor at theedgebereaky dot comReporting from The Edge of Appalachia in Berea, Kentucky.
