Public expression at fiscal court meeting pertaining to first reading of moratorium on data centers for 150 days to get our regulations up to speed.

I’m so proud to work with the best and brightest our county has to offer. We’ve made some real progress on getting the site location moved; however, we have a bunch more to do! Let’s get a real moratorium in place that applies to ALL data centers!!!

We are going to roll out some exciting plans on how we can reach out to even more of our county! It is clear you really are making a difference! Our state officials are taking note on what is happening here!!

🚨Public Trust Betrayed in Oldham County🚨

Judge Voegele claims in press release; "Neighbors of the Ky53 location recommended moving WHP’s hyperscale data center to the Sauerbeck Drive-In site"

‼️That is blatantly false.‼️

It was in fact a clandestine, backroom scheme by Judge Voegele, Mayor Black, Magistrate Chris Haunz, David Bizianes, Jim Urban, and WHP to evade the moratorium and regulations and sneak in a new site—without public input. Hence the timing of this new application.

This is not transparency; it's deception.
Oldham County won’t stand for it.
We demand accountability.⚠️

***UPDATE 6/01/2025 Moratoriums***

We Are Oldham County Newsletter: June 1st -

A moratorium is under consideration regarding heavy industrial activity and to give the Planning and Zoning department the time needed to properly define what constitutes a “data center.” This definition will be essential for creating clear, enforceable regulations around noise, setbacks, light ...

🚨Coming up this week!!! After Monday's Lagrange City Council Meeting, don't miss the Fiscal Court's First Reading of the County Moratorium Ordinance!!

A "sea of red" (as Cliff Ashburner described) at these meetings holds our elected leaders accountable and demands transparency. We are NOT going anywhere!

Be at the OC Fiscal Court Building in RED! Carpool with friends, neighbors, family. Say NO to data centers in Oldham County!

*****UPDATE 5/30*****

Currently we are at a pivotal time for our community, we are between having a moratorium and not having that pause. The whole point of where we are right now is to provide time for Planning and Zoning to gather information about the definitions of data centers and provide information on various items that need to be addressed for heavy industrial activity; like sound, setbacks, glare and nuisance and how to mitigate those items. This is how citizens and their property are protected from heavy industry. If we cannot define what a data center is, it can be placed into any zone they wish, and there lies the problem.

Simply put, ask your magistrates to not allow any wavers, favors, or exceptions to the moratorium. We need a comprehensive plan that outlines how we will grow in relation to adding heavy industry here to Oldham County. Our moratorium needs to include ALL data centers so they may be defined and regulated in the form of zoning code and regulation. We only ask for our FISCAL Court to do what they have always done, follow the procedure that is in place.

Do not allow some kids from New Jersey to take advantage of our local government, our people, and Our Oldham County.

We Are The Line They Will Not Cross,

We Are Oldham County!

Very Respectfully Yours,

Wear red! Say NO to data centers in Oldham County! Spread the word!!!

*****update 5/27*****

Thanks to all that came out to the vigil this morning! And for standing in the rain together with our signs!!

We were pleased with the Planning Commission as they too voted unanimously to send the moratorium back to the FISCAL Court for its first reading in a couple weeks.

If you know (or don’t know) the Judge give him a call or send an email and ask for a special meeting or session with the FISCAL Court so they can get this ball rolling! They don’t need to wait for their scheduled meeting to read this the first time!

We also had a pretty decent turnout to the GOP Meeting this evening at the Ballardsville Fire Department.

We got to speak with Jason Nemis, and David Osbourne and they too agreed this is NOT a “private utility.”

Good job everyone, we had a great turnout, and that’s what it takes!

Dear Oldham County,

I speak for myself here. I’M ALL IN! This lack of process and the cavalier attitudes of some of our elected officials concerning a huge unreglulated change, and no real plan….not going to happen on my watch.

This group has done their fair share of the work and you all have done well. We aren’t in it for us as individuals, we are in it for the cause, for one another, for those that can’t fight it…for Oldham County.

In the military they say when the bullets start flying, they fight for the men and women by their right and left. You are patriots, you are doing the work others cannot and will not do. That is something to be proud of.

This is true and honorable work. Keep the faith, do your part and know this is part of the greater good of us all. I know this is true, and I think you do too.

I’ve been on my knees more than once praying for the wisdom of some that should take a step back and take another look at this, reconsider the sides that have been taken and find the strength to do what is right; I pray for the families of this, on both sides of the issue. Your strength gives us all strength, I pray you keep doing this!

We Are The Line

WE ARE OLDHAM COUNTY

We want to see our sea of red at the Tuesday morning Planning & Zoning meeting! We would like to add an additional ask- please join us for a vigil around the Fiscal Court building starting at 8. Pop into one of our favorite coffee shops just down the block at Lagrange Roasters then head to the fiscal court at 8:00. We want to pray and peacefully assemble before the meeting.
