Why Grayson, KY may never have a Walmart… (and why it’s okay)

One of the most common things I see people in this town asking for is a Walmart. It’s something I’ve never fully understood, for several reasons. For one, our nearest Walmart is only 15–20 minutes away. It’s literally about 10 miles from town, and if you can’t make the drive, you can even have groceries delivered to your house, including in places like Hitchins.

Ross, Pike County data centers differ greatly in size, power and water use

CHILLICOTHE— Data centers, data centers, data centers. Between the proposed data center in Chillicothe and the data center being built in Pike County it can feel like all anyone is talking about is data centers. That doesn't even begin to include all the conversations about the other data centers being built and either supported or protested by communities around the country. With so much talk, it is easy to get confused, especially when you are talking about two sites so close together, like the ones in Ross and Pike counties, which are less than 40 miles apart. Both of these projects involve turning brownfield sites into data centers, but that is largely where the similarities stop. Based on what project leaders from both sites have said, the centers will vastly vary in size, energy and water usage and more. Ross County The proposed data center in Chillicothe would be built on the former paper mill site, which is owned by U.S. Paper Mill, which is leasing the land to Alignment Engine.

The family behind it has been farming since 1919, which is a lot of harvests. More than a century of growing food tends to make people very good at feeding a hungry crowd.
