The Oldham County Fiscal Court held a special session on June 26, 2025, where significant discussions centered around the proposed moratorium on new developments and the implications for local regulations. The meeting highlighted concerns regarding the potential impact of private utilities on zoning and land use across the county.
One speaker emphasized the need for a moratorium to allow time for the establishment of regulations and standards. They expressed skepticism about the Board of Adjustments' ability to manage these developments effectively, suggesting that if private utilities were classified as such, it could lead to widespread installations across all zoning districts. This speaker indicated a willingness to pursue legal action if necessary, reflecting a lack of confidence in the current regulatory framework.
Another participant raised concerns about air quality in Oldham County, noting that it is currently classified as a non-attainment area. They pointed out that the county faces additional costs for reformulated gasoline and restrictions on burning during certain months. The speaker criticized proposals to allow diesel generators to operate during the summer, arguing that such industries do not align with the community's values or economic needs.
The discussions underscored a broader community sentiment that local residents should have a significant role in determining the suitability of new projects for Oldham County. The meeting concluded with a call for further consideration of the moratorium and the need for comprehensive regulations to protect the community's interests.
