2,080 acre hyperscale data center zoning map application submitted in Maysville-Mason County #Kentucky near the #OhioRiver in rural #Appalachia for “Cloud computing technologies.”
The site is in the Ohio River Watershed, along the boundary between the Lee Creek and Lawrence Creek
sub-watersheds.The project, west of downtown Maysville, is near Slack Pike Road, Germantown Road and Valley Pike near 'D's Thirsty Beaver' which is located at 3538 Germantown Rd, Maysville, KY 41056.
This is the third hype-scale data center within 31 miles to be built. # 2, in the last image, at the former Stuart Coal power plant in Adams County, Manchester, Ohio, has already received federal approval. Another one is planned for the shuttered Killen Station in Rome, Ohio, just east of Manchester, Ohio, all on the Ohio River, in Adams County, also.
The Maysville-Mason County Joint Planning Commission will host two days of public hearings on Wednesday, March 25, and Thursday, March 26 at 5:30 p.m. at the Maysville Community and Technical College Fields Auditorium.

@intothewestaway I think the selling point of these locations are easy access to the water but the Appalachian terrain puts the infrastructure itself above the 100 year flood plain, almost in the so-called "Biblical flood plain." Manchester/ Stuart, for example, is going to be built well above, same for the Maysville data center. If Ohio river flooding hits these data centers, Cincinnati and Louisville, well downstream, would be wiped out. Flash flooding would be the danger, as far a flooding goes. These hills are well known for bulldozing mountain flooding, though.

@paul I read about in a German farmers' news, that one family in Maysville rejects a 26 Mio$ offer. They wrote about 800 hectar, 8 km², which is huge. But not, who is the investor of the datacenter(s). Do you know who is behind that?

@Dodo_sipping No, they deliberately are keeping it a secret. In a meeting last night, they refused to say who it is, and even who the builder is...
"Nichols [attorney for the developer] said it wasn't likely people would learn the identity of the company planning to build the data center until the zone change had been approved and contracts to buy those 28 properties had been signed.
All Nichols revealed is that the builder would be a "Fortune 500 tech company."
"I asked you to name that company," Graddy [attorney representing the opposition] said to Nichols.
"And I said we're not doing that at this time," Nichols responded."

It fits to the Northern Data Group in Frankfurt Main Germany. Main stock owner of them with 50+% is Tether Holdings. No official list of owners available. But they are big in crypto money market. If you need more, northern data has announced the building for 2027 on their site. So they know they WILL get it through.
If you ask me, this will become an AI supported crypto mining centre. That's why they plan it that big. They say they want to shift from crypto to AI, but I don't believe that.
I have to correct sth. They build in Maysville, Georgia. But the whole thing smells like them. Would be a surprise if they aren't behind it. -

@paul rumours still going they are behind it, though.

@Dodo_sipping I got news for whoever it is. These hillbillies don't mess around. If they are dead set against a data center, there won't be a data center but probably will be a few funerals.

@paul I doubt that would stop them... Some have obviously agreed to selling their ground. And these people have enough money to buy their own army.
