Louisville’s recent approval of a 150-acre data center on Camp Ground Road has sparked significant community concern. Residents in the predominantly Black neighborhood feel the project is being imposed upon them without adequate consideration of its impact. Reverend Jerome Sutton, a longtime west end pastor, highlighted that many community members believe the development threatens critical resources. Concerns include the center’s substantial electricity consumption, increased water demand, and potential environmental repercussions. Despite ongoing opposition, construction has commenced, leaving residents questioning the project’s long-term effects on their community.
