Inter Electric Power has proposed Project Hummingbird, an AI data center to be developed on the former Robena Coal Mine site in Greene County, with initial efforts focused on restoring coal mine refuse piles. Community concerns regarding environmental impacts and local population decline were raised during the planning commission meeting, while IEP indicated that natural gas generators could be introduced, although no buyer for the data center currently exists. The company dismissed community benefits agreements, prioritizing corporate interests over local needs.
