MERCER COUNTY, Ky. (LEX NEWS) — Residents packed a Burgin city council meeting to voice opposition to a proposed data center on Tuesday night, with more than 15 people speaking out against the project. "No Data Center" signs are visible throughout Burgin, and that message was delivered directly to city leaders during the meeting. Kaitlyn Cooper, whose horse farm sits directly across from the land proposed for annexation, said she was overwhelmed by the turnout. "Essentially, what I mainly spoke about was the fact that a data center and a working saddlebred training facility cannot coexist across the street from one another," Cooper said. Residents also called on Burgin to rejoin Mercer County's planning and zoning system, which they say could give the city more control over future development.
