Edgerton Sues Residents to Build AI Data Center

The city of Edgerton, Kansas, has taken an unusual step by suing its residents to allow the construction of a data center dedicated to artificial intelligence. The city’s decision to pursue its own residents in court has sparked controversy and opposition from the community. Despite a judge’s rejection of the lawsuit in September, residents have filed a new lawsuit to force the city to put a proposal to ban data centers to a public vote next month.
