'My little piece of heaven:' Why the fight against data centers in Tenn. is getting emotional
Coffee County, Tennessee, has implemented a one-year moratorium on data centers to draft zoning restrictions, driven by residents' concerns over land preservation and quality of life. The Planning Commission aims to limit data centers to industrial zones, enforce height limits to reduce light pollution, and explore funds for decommissioning risks. Residents like Jenny McKee emphasize protecting their land and community from potential negative impacts.
