For Ida Huddleston, the large tract of land in Kentucky isn’t just about the property. It is about generations of family heritage, memories, pain, and identity intertwined. And for this reason, Huddleston, the 82-year-old great-grandmother, could not sell her family's land even after developers made an offer of $26 million.
According to People Magazine , Huddleston and her daughter Delsia Bare initially signed a contract to sell their family's farmland located in Maysville, Kentucky. However, Huddleston and her daughter changed their minds and tore up the contract. With a legacy that can be traced back to before the American Civil War, Huddleston's farmland has become the focal point of the debate on data centres and rural America.
