'We do not want them anywhere:' Historic turnout pushes Nashville to act on data center regulations

Nashville residents demanded new data center regulations at a historic turnout meeting, citing concerns over health impacts, environmental damage, and community disruption. DC Blox plans to build a facility near the Nashville Zoo, prompting opposition from educators, physicians, and residents like Wilder, a 10-year-old who highlighted noise pollution effects on animals and children. The proposed legislation by Rollin Horton would limit data center operations and proximity to sensitive areas.
