Pulaski County Pushback — When Arkansans Fight Back

from Echoes From The Edge · host echoesfromtheedge

On the night of May 12th 2026 a standing-room-only crowd packed a Pulaski County quorum court meeting to demand regulation of two massive data centers being built in their backyard. That same morning the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce held a rooftop press conference with utility executives to tell residents everything was fine. In Episode 7 Kiler Davenport covers the growing resistance movement in Arkansas — the candidate who defeated the incumbent who let it happen, the professor who testified about air quality 11 times the national average, and the neighbors who showed up anyway.

Standing room only in Pulaski County on May 12th — one side on a rooftop with utility executives saying trust us, the other side in a packed county meeting saying we don’t. Episode 7 of the Data Center Truth Series is about what happens when Arkansas citizens decide enough is enough.
