Eastern Kentucky welcomes data centers in hopes they make up for coal losses

In Kentucky's former coal country, data centers are a welcome sight as people hope they will bring in money. Data centers have generated opposition all over the country. In eastern Kentucky, though, some communities are actively pursuing them, or at least they're open to them.

WR Concrete: Quality Concrete Work

Kevin Bucher and his family moved to the Poor Valley community of Hawkins County a little over a year ago. He opened WR Concrete in January. Kevin spent his early childhood in Harrisburg, Virginia. His family moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania when he was in middle school. Kevin recalled “I started working really young, helping my dad and grandpa. I did concrete jobs in Pennsylvania and I’ve been in construction for about nine years.” His journey to Tennessee came from a higher power. “God called us here! I always wanted to move back south, to the Appalachian Mountains. We started watching the Bridge Church services online. Three months later, we were here!” Last year, Kevin, his wife Emily and their three children (ages 13, 9, and 3) made their move to Hawkins County. Kevin explained that people began asking him about finishing concrete. He added “I always wanted to work for myself. I like working with concrete because I can take something that doesn’t exist and finish it by the end of the day. It’s fulfilling!” No two jobs are the same. Some projects that WR Concrete does include sidewalks, foundations, floors, house slabs, concrete countertops, and stamped concrete. Kevin is

Smoky Mountain Auto Brokers to open in Greeneville

Renovations are underway at 301 S. Main St, the future home of Smoky Mountain Auto Brokers. Owners Scott and Lynn Grant say painting is almost complete; a muralist will be creating a landscape of the Smokies on their windows. Once completed, the building will look and feel like a vintage service station. The new look takes inspiration from the nearby Greeneville Greene County History and City Garage Car museums as well as local classic car meets like Sundown on the Depot, which its proprietors enjoy. The dealership will specialize in classic and luxury pre-owned vehicles. While this will be the Grants’ first business in the area, they previously ran what they said was the largest independent used car dealership in southwest Florida. “While we may be new to Greeneville, TN, we have been in the automotive industry for over 35 years,” Scott said. “Since retiring to the foothills of East Tennessee, we are aiming to provide a boutique car buying experience, focusing on quality versus quantity.” The Grants, who moved to Greeneville almost four years ago, enjoy attending downtown events like the Iris Festival and say they look forward to becoming more involved in the community they love.

East Tennessee Iron & Metal begins expansion

Some business interests wanting to come to, or expand, in the Bulls Gap area recently were ones that the town would just as soon look elsewhere. But on Thursday, Oct. 29, a longtime friend of the community saw its plans welcomed with open arms. East Tennessee Iron & Metal, which celebrates its 40th year of operation in the Bulls Gap area next year, broke ground on an expansion of its facilities off Highway 66 that will take place during the next four years. The plans came to fruition after the Tennessee Department of Transportation announced improvements to Highway 66. ETIM began consulting with TDOT on a viable plan of expansion for their business. “This plan was predicated by our growth and coincides with the new TDOT State Road expansion of Highway 66,” said ETIM CEO Jimmy Brooks. “(This) project will not only help our business, but helps our community. We have worked closely with TDOT on this plan.” Brooks outlaid the plan and the company also had artists’ renderings of the new buildings for visitors to view. The expansion plan includes the following additions to the ETIM facilities: A new central operations building that will take up 7,000 square feet
