Opposition and litigation at this site

Yes. Organized local opposition to Dermody Properties Kramers Lane Data Center in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky is documented in the public record, without a lawsuit on file in the sources we track. District 1 Council Member Tammy Hawkins said the developer did not contact her before filing and accused the company of trying to 'backdoor' the application ahead of the moratorium; residents in the Rubbertown area raised environmental-justice concerns about the concentration of data centers in west and south Louisville.

How the community has taken it

Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: opposed means documented, organized local opposition is the dominant signal on record.

District 1 Council Member Tammy Hawkins said the developer did not contact her before filing and accused the company of trying to 'backdoor' the application ahead of the moratorium; residents in the Rubbertown area raised environmental-justice concerns about the concentration of data centers in west and south Louisville. Metro Council approved a six-month moratorium 24-1 on August 13, 2026, amended during the meeting to cover conversions of existing buildings as well as new construction.

Notes on the record

Dermody Properties received approval in May 2024 to develop this 20-acre site as a 350,000 sq ft distribution warehouse; the building remains vacant and the revised plan would convert it to a data center, repurposing the tractor-trailer loading dock area for generator equipment and adding an on-site electrical substation, perimeter fencing and guard shacks. The plans do not name the technology company that would operate the facility, and no capacity figure has been published. Distinct from the PowerHouse/Poe Camp Ground Road campus already tracked, which is about 1.5 km away in the same council district. Coordinates are a geocode of the street address.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

Power capacity in megawatts
Cooling method and water use
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Permanent jobs promised
Which utility serves it

Which document closes each gap

Power capacity in megawatts: The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Cooling method and water use: The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy: The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Permanent jobs promised: The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Which utility serves it: The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
