Opposition and litigation at this site

Partly. Both documented support and documented opposition to TeraWulf Muskie Data Campus (EastPark) in Ashland, Greenup County, Kentucky appear in the record, with no clear majority position. Boyd County Judge-Executive Eric Chaney and FIVCO-region officials are broadly supportive; the City of Ashland enacted a moratorium on new data-center applications within city limits (site is outside city limits).

How the community has taken it

Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: mixed reception means documented support and documented opposition both exist with no clear majority position on record.

Boyd County Judge-Executive Eric Chaney and FIVCO-region officials are broadly supportive; the City of Ashland enacted a moratorium on new data-center applications within city limits (site is outside city limits). Tax revenue projected to benefit schools across the five FIVCO counties.

Power and water

Kentucky Power (an AEP company) is building a 345 kV substation on the existing 765 kV network to serve the campus. TeraWulf confirmed it will pay the full Industrial General Service tariff with no discounts or exemptions. Phased power: 500 MW H2 2028, +500 MW H2 2030.

Notes on the record

TeraWulf's second Kentucky campus (alongside the Justified/Hawesville campus tracked separately). TeraWulf (Nasdaq: WULF), historically a bitcoin miner, repositioning toward HPC/AI. Muskie is a 285-acre site at EastPark Industrial Park (a 1,000-acre former strip mine). Planned 1+ GW phased: initial 500 MW ramp H2 2028, additional 500 MW targeted H2 2030. County discrepancy: local TV cites Boyd County, but Wikipedia and the Lane Report place EastPark primarily in Greenup County (site straddles Boyd/Greenup/Carter); Greenup used, city Ashland retained as the regional reference. INVESTMENT OMITTED: the $4B figure came from a Boyd County official, not TeraWulf's investor PR or 8-K. ~300 permanent jobs are official projections (in notes, not jobs). TeraWulf stated it will pay the full standard industrial tariff with no subsidies. Coordinates are the EastPark park centroid.

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.
