Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of September 13, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Kentucky Enterprise Industrial Park Data Center in Pikeville, Pike County, Kentucky appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

Notes on the record
City of Pikeville and Lexington-based MD Squared Power LLC signed a preliminary MOU on 2026-04-20 to explore a data center at the Kentucky Enterprise Industrial Park, with a 120-day exclusive negotiation window; either party could withdraw without penalty. No final development agreement, capacity figure, or exact parcel/address was disclosed as of the source date. Coordinates are a city-level pin (Pikeville, Pike County) since the exact parcel within the industrial park is not confirmed in the source.
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
- Land area
- How the community has received it
- 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.
- Land area
- The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
- How the community has received it
- Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
- Which utility serves it
- The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
