28 residents of Meadowland Village mobile home park in Mason County, KY — many elderly or disabled — have been given just 3 months to vacate their homes so a Fortune 50 AI company can build a massive 2,000-acre hyperscale data center nearby.
The landlord's letter offered each resident up to $20,000 for relocation, but residents say that won't even cover moving costs, let alone finding a new place. And here's the kicker: local zoning laws restrict where mobile homes can go, meaning there aren't nearly enough spots in the area to absorb them all.
One of the residents recently had a stroke. Another is a pastor who built a wheelchair ramp. There are people who've lived there for 20 years. They are all being pushed out so Big Tech can chase cheap land and tax breaks in rural America.
A lawsuit has been filed to block the development. The zoning commission vote could happen any day now.
Reminder: You can’t call it “building the future” if it’s tearing down people’s lives.
