A Public Private State Data Project + Eminent Domain?

Kentucky is wiring the state for internet with the aptly names- KentuckyWired project.

To wire bluegrass country, the state  Kentucky Communications Network Authority (KCNA)is overseeing the public private investment.

What eminent domain rumors are swirling in the bluegrass? That homes are being taken away.

How did Kentuckywired respond:

• Simply not true.
• Most of the projec ti son public land
• 99% of landowners have agreed to easements that correspond with existing above ground cable, electric and phone lines.
• If eminent domain is used, no home will be taken.
