Last summer, the Metro Council asked Metro Planning to draft new rules before 2026.  Just before New Year’s Eve, draft rules and a hearing were announced.  Yet within hours the hearing was cancelled, and the draft rules removed.

​

Despite the need for strong leadership,

we’ve seen nothing since.

​

Every day without new rules is another day that data-center developers can exploit to build more data centers.

​

Please contact your Metro Council member as soon as practical to ensure they understand your concerns and expectations that they protect you.

​

1. Identify your metro council member’s name and district number.  Click this link (https://apps.lojic.org/metrocouncildistricts/), enter your address in the upper-lefthand window and press return:

2. Note your district number in the “Information” box, then click its “contact” link to find instructions for sending email.  Or call your council member’s office by dialing (502) 574-11 + [your district number].  (If you’re in District’s one through nine, add a zero before it, e.g., 574-1108.) 

3. Either way, explain succinctly why you believe citizens like yourself have waited long enough, especially on something with so much potential for harm.  (Remember, you’re an expert on what matters to you.)  Then, ask what your council member will do to reinvigorate the process. 

4. Better, let LCAN know what you learn by replying to this newsletter or the Contact Us form at the bottom of every page of our website.

 

THANK YOU for exercising your civic muscle.
