Resident urges Oldham County to reconsider data center proposal during public comment
Summary
Resident Tim Caitlin used a brief public-comment opportunity at the July 17 Oldham County Board of Adjustments meeting to urge officials to reconsider a previously opposed data-center proposal and invited county leaders to a planned public debate.
At the July 17 Oldham County Board of Adjustments meeting a member of the public, Tim Caitlin of Crestwood, used a brief open-floor opportunity to urge county leaders to reconsider a proposed data-center project that previously drew public opposition.
Caitlin described the project as a major economic opportunity for the county that could bring jobs and build local capacity in advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence. He said he had launched a website, commonsenseoldhamcounty.org, and planned a petition and a public debate with opponents organized under the banner "We Are Oldham County." Caitlin invited board members and community leaders to attend the debate if it proceeds.
The board did not act on the comment; the remark was part of a short, limited public comment allowance the board opened for five minutes during the meeting. No formal application or item tied to the comment appeared on the meeting docket.
