2,080 acre hyperscale data center zoning map application submitted in Maysville-Mason County #Kentucky near the #OhioRiver in rural #Appalachia for “Cloud computing technologies.”

The site is in the Ohio River Watershed, along the boundary between the Lee Creek and Lawrence Creek
sub-watersheds.

The project, west of downtown Maysville, is near Slack Pike Road, Germantown Road and Valley Pike near 'D's Thirsty Beaver' which is located at 3538 Germantown Rd, Maysville, KY 41056.

This is the third hype-scale data center within 31 miles to be built. # 2, in the last image, at the former Stuart Coal power plant in Adams County, Manchester, Ohio, has already received federal approval. Another one is planned for the shuttered Killen Station in Rome, Ohio, just east of Manchester, Ohio, all on the Ohio River, in Adams County, also.

The Maysville-Mason County Joint Planning Commission will host two days of public hearings on Wednesday, March 25, and Thursday, March 26 at 5:30 p.m. at the Maysville Community and Technical College Fields Auditorium.

Hype for the Future 113MAN: Village of Manchester, Ohio

Overview The Village of Manchester is located along the Ohio River in the southern portion of Adams County, Ohio, along Route 52 at the southern terminus of Route 136. Today, not much exists in terms of tourism for the community; however, the residential community lacks significant career opportunities and prospects in the modern day and contains a heightened risk of unemployment, resulting in a greater sense of economic distress.

Hype for the Future 100V: Breckinridge County, Kentucky

Overview Breckinridge County, Kentucky, is located within the central portion of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, along the Ohio River largely opposite Crawford County, Indiana, and the Hoosier National Forest. While the City of Hardinsburg is the county seat of Breckinridge County, the Judge Joseph Holt House, located nearer the Ohio River in the community of Addison, is perhaps the most iconic attraction for tourists happening to stumble upon the county via the local Route 144.

Drought, cold disrupts river freight

The blast of wintry weather across the Midwest has frozen parts of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, exacerbating drought-caused low water levels and impeding traffic along a key transportation lane for commodities such as soft red winter wheat.

As a result of the low water levels, draft capacity aboard barges has been greatly reduced.
