Pete Lynch, the Kentucky Party candidate running in Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District, urged Lexington officials to take a much harder line on data centers, calling for the city’s moratorium to be extended by at least two years and for new laws effectively banning AI data center construction and expansion.
The council ultimately moved forward with extending its current moratorium through October 2027 and restarting part of the zoning process, including consideration of a dedicated zone for data centers.
