CAVE CITY, Ky. — A community prayer vigil focused on opposition to data centers is planned for Tuesday evening in Cave City.
According to a flyer, the event will be held June 16 at 6:30 p.m. in front of the Cave City Community Building, located at 103 Duke St.
Organizers said “everyone [is] welcome” to attend. The flyer says the event will include “Prayers for our Land & Country against Destruction from Data Centers!”
The vigil follows recent developments in Cave City's data center controversy. The city approved a moratorium in May, and a lawsuit naming Cave City, among others, was filed earlier this month.
