Carrollton Industrial Campus (PowerHouse Data Centers / Poe Companies)
PowerHouse Data Centers / Poe Companies. Filed, 800 MW
PowerHouse Data Centers and Poe Companies, the same team behind the Camp Ground Road project in Louisville, announced plans in July 2026 for a 9.6 billion dollar data center called the Carrollton Industrial Campus on a roughly 500 acre site along Greens Bottom Road east of Interstate 71 in Carroll County, with about 800 megawatts of planned utility load, on land that includes 342 acres owned by the municipal utility Carrollton Utilities near its regional wastewater treatment plant and the Kentucky River. Residents in Carrollton and nearby Ghent organized in opposition after learning the city had quietly given Poe Companies exclusive rights in July 2025 to purchase 340 acres for the project, a year before the plan became public. The Carroll County Ethics Commission voted around late September 2026 to open an investigation into those land dealings and communications between officials and the developers, after residents filed complaints alleging some city council members who approved the deal have personal or family ties to Louisville Gas and Electric and Kentucky Utilities, the local utility that stands to profit from the project.

What it would mean nearby
The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 800 MW facility would draw roughly 2.5 million to 9.1 million gallons of water a day, about what 29,200 households use.
