• Christian County residents seek answers on 1,000 megawatt data center project (wandtv.com) — A massive $8.8 billion data center proposed near Taylorville could bring 500 permanent jobs and an estimated $85 million in tax revenue, but residents are pressing developers for answers. Locals raised concerns about power demand, water use, crop impacts, and transparency, while backers insist ratepayers won’t see higher utility bills. County officials still must approve the project, and any construction is years away.
