This Middle Tennessee county has no data center regulations. Officials are working to change that

Wilson County, Tennessee, currently lacks regulations for data centers, prompting officials to propose zoning amendments requiring impact studies and utility provider approvals. The push follows backlash against a proposed data center near the Nashville Zoo, which includes a 40-megawatt facility and a power substation. Commissioners expressed mixed opinions, with some advocating for proactive measures and others questioning the extent of necessary restrictions.
