Proposed-site record
Media Monitoring lead with high location confidence. Use the linked sources to verify status, public money, NDA/secrecy, water, and power details before treating this as a fully documented local record.
This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.
Oldham County's official Project Lincoln page links withdrawal documents submitted by Western Hospitality Partners. Data Center Dynamics reports that the 150-day moratorium put the project on hold, while Kentucky Public Service Commission testimony describes the revised project as a 100 MW prospect without an EPC; the earlier concept was 600 MW. These status and project-scale records do not identify a tenant or facility workload.
Western Hospitality Partners is identified as the developer/proponent, not a disclosed compute customer or operator. The official county page confirms that withdrawal documents were submitted, but does not add a workload disclosure. Keep the record's reported 600 MW project-scale figure distinct from the PSC testimony's 100 MW prospect entry; neither is workload capacity or an operating measurement.

Source review September 9, 2026: the withdrawn Highway 53 proposal's reviewed record does not disclose water source, cooling, withdrawal, consumption, or wastewater quantities. A smaller Commerce Parkway application is a separate project path and should not be merged into this record.
Source review September 9, 2026: LG&E/KU regulatory filings identify Project Lincoln as an anticipated 600 MW data-center demand lead, while Data Center Dynamics reports the original Highway 53 application was withdrawn and replaced by a smaller site. The 600 MW remains proposed project/utility-demand context, not confirmed requested, approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity.
