People in two different Kentucky communities are speaking out and taking action, trying to stop.

Data centers and a national group graded 49 Kentucky hospitals, and not everyone made the honor roll.

Our Toby Gibbs has details.

And this look at headlines around Kentucky.

A national nonprofit gives Kentucky hospitals a mixed grade for patient safety.

The leapfrog Group grades more than 2800 acute care hospitals across America, based on how well they protect patients.

According to the Hop Down Chronicle.

The group rated 49 of Kentucky's hospitals.

Of those, 16 received an A rating.

15 received A B, 17 R and C's, and one earned a D. The grades are based on 22 factors that look at how hospitals performed protecting people from preventable errors, injuries, and infections.

The Cave City City Council voted 4 to 1 Monday to stop accepting data center applications for a year.

Key wants to build a data center in Franklin.

A citizens group, Franklin Citizens for Responsible Development, is suing the company and the Franklin Planning and Zoning Commission, which approved the center, according to the Bowling Green Daily News.

Numbers from the U.S.

Census Bureau show shifts in population in western Kentucky.

Callaway County has gained more than 8300 people since the 2020 census.

Mark Manning of the Murray Callaway Economic Development Corporation says it's because of new manufacturing jobs, good schools, low crime and a high quality of life.

McCracken County declined in population by 320 since 2020, but County Judge executive Craig Clymer expects that to turn around, with two companies building uranium enrichment facilities.
