Jun 8, 2026 Lawsuit
Kentucky Industrial Alliance sues Cave City over the moratorium
The developer sued the city, its council and the Barren County joint planning commission in Barren Circuit Court, asking a judge to declare the moratorium unlawful and to have its application reviewed under the rules in place on May 11, the day it filed.
The moratorium is the tool that is working against data centers, and it is now the tool being litigated.

Cave City, Kentucky freezes data centers for twelve months, nine days after a 1.2 GW campus was filed
After two special meetings on May 18 and May 20 the Cave City council adopted a twelve-month moratorium on data centers. Kentucky Industrial Alliance had filed plans on May 11 for a campus of about 380 acres on Doyle Avenue, north of downtown and a few miles from Mammoth Cave National Park.
A town of 2,500 beside a national park used the one tool a town has, and the developer went to court over it within three weeks.
