Carrollton Industrial Campus

The Carrollton Industrial Campus is a planned data center development by PowerHouse Data Centers and Poe Companies, located on a 550-acre industrial property east of Interstate 71 in Carrollton, Kentucky. This project represents a substantial private investment of $9.6 billion, with an estimated average annual local tax revenue of $93.2 million over 20 years. The campus is designed to transform underutilized industrial land into a modern facility, leveraging existing infrastructure and strategic location near the Kentucky River and a regional wastewater treatment plant. The development is projected to create approximately 320 direct local jobs, with permanent data center roles offering an average annual wage of $105,000. The project is expected to generate significant benefits for Carroll County, including substantial revenue for schools, libraries, fire districts, and local government, supporting community priorities. The site's designation for industrial development, buffering from surrounding properties, and available resources make it suitable for large-scale data center operations. PowerHouse Data Centers, a division of American Real Estate Partners, has a pipeline of over 6GW of capacity across multiple states, and this project marks a significant expansion in the Kentucky market.
