Data Centers in Putnam County, Live on the Levee, and WV Symphony Sunday

Dave Allen opens a Friday edition of 580 Live with the weekly Adopt Me Please Pet of the Week from Kanawha-Charleston Humane Association — Fozzie, an 85-pound dog surrendered after his owner passed away, available for free adoption. Amy Rain fills in for Jim Strawn to preview the evening's Live on the Levee concert at Haddad Riverfront Park, featuring Jocelyn and the Sweet Compression and Low Cut Connie. Delegate J.B. Akers then joins for a lengthy conversation on data center development in Putnam County — including Google's planned facility near the Kanawha River — addressing community concerns about water use, transparency, economic benefits, and House Bill 2014's protections for ratepayers. Akers also shares personal good news, including his cancer treatment update and upcoming induction into the West Virginia Broadcasting Hall of Fame. Amanda McDonald of the West Virginia Symphony closes the show previewing the free Symphony Sunday season finale at the University of Charleston lawn, featuring community bands, food vendors, and fireworks.
