Woodford County Bans New Data Centers | Lexington News

Woodford County, Kentucky, just became the first in the state to permanently ban new data centers, choosing to protect its rural soul and farmland over digital growth. After months of planning and a decisive vote by the Fiscal Court, leaders like Judge-Executive James Kay argue this move safeguards clean water, open land, and community character for future generations. While other counties consider temporary holds and states like New York impose restrictions, Woodford’s bold stance sets a powerful precedent in the national debate over tech development vs. environmental and cultural preservation.
