⏸️ Pause on new data centers · Unincorporated Oldham County
Oldham County Fiscal Court voted 4-2 at a special meeting for a 150-day pause on all data center applications. The court removed wording that would have let a pending project go ahead. The pause came after a fight over a planned 600-megawatt data center near La Grange. In August 2026 a news report said the pause was still in place until new data center rules pass.
