The Oldham County Fiscal Court held a special session on June 26, 2025, where discussions centered around the potential impact of data centers on the community and environmental concerns. A resident, who has lived in Oldham County for 28 years, urged the court to consider implementing thermal loops to reduce pollution from these facilities. He emphasized that such measures could also help fund public buildings and private residences.

The resident expressed frustration over a lack of communication with the fiscal court regarding information provided by the University of Louisville about the effects of data centers. He noted that despite attempts to collaborate, his emails went unanswered, prompting the university to proceed independently in sharing their findings.

He addressed a recent letter to the editor by Mr. Kalin, who is a candidate for the Adjustments Board, claiming it contained misleading information. The resident highlighted the importance of the University of Louisville's Superfund program, which focuses on addressing toxic gases, particularly those emitted from diesel fuel and gas power plants. He stressed that this is a significant health concern for Oldham County residents.

Additionally, he commended the planning and zoning committee for suggesting a human health risk assessment as part of the planning process for new developments. He urged the fiscal court to prioritize this assessment to safeguard the community's health.

In conclusion, the resident called for careful consideration of the implications of data centers and the need for proactive measures to protect public health in Oldham County.
