## Resource

Nashville’s buzzing with resistance as a massive new data center looms near the zoo, sparking outrage from neighbors, city leaders, and zoo staff over noise, pollution, and water use—especially as AI demand surges. The mayor’s even flirting with eminent domain to seize the land, while DC BLOX claims the deal’s sealed but permits are stalled. Residents fear this tech giant will ruin the neighborhood’s vibe and harm the zoo’s conservation mission. With Metro Council set to vote on new restrictions—including a possible moratorium and bans near schools, churches, and zoos—the community’s voice is louder than ever, and they’re even using a ticket system to ensure everyone gets a say. The future of data centers in Nashville hangs in the balance.
