Delcea Bear, a resident of Maysville, Kentucky, and her mother Ida have rejected a $26 million offer for their land from a company planning to build a large data center campus. Bear and her neighbors are in a contentious battle with the tech giant over the development.
“For their land, they would receive $26 million.”
“And they said, no.”
“I've lived here in this home for 50 or 60 or 70 years and I tend to try to die in it.”
“And that's why I don't want a data center aggravating me while I'm trying to die.”
