FRANKFORT, KY (Jan. 16, 2025) — A statement from Senate President Robert Stivers, R-Manchester, upon today’s announcement of Kentucky’s first hyperscale data center campus in Louisville.
“I worked closely with Secretary Jeff Noel from the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development and top private sector leaders to craft and pass groundbreaking legislation that will spark job creation and expand the tax base, which creates more revenue,” Stivers said.
“This project is a game-changer, driving long-term economic growth in our major metropolitan center and boosting Kentucky as a regional business hub.”
During the 2024 Regular Session, House Bill 8, sections 37 to 42, enacted a tax incentive program, making this economic development project possible.
