Burgin City Council has been weighing a plan to annex farmland north of the city so Panattoni Data Centers can build a hyperscale data center ('Project Bluegrass'). An earlier annexation of over 1,000 acres in July 2026 was voided. At a later meeting, council members left, so there were too few to vote on annexation. The council also moved, on the mayor's tie-breaking vote, toward joining a planning commission. The annexation is not final.
