Data center blocked? A rare move by Metro could stop proposal near Nashville Zoo

Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell seeks to block a DC BLOX data center near the Nashville Zoo by pursuing eminent domain legislation, citing community and environmental concerns. The project, which would serve as a connectivity hub and require 50 megawatts of power, faces opposition over noise pollution and transparency issues. DC BLOX has a $23 million contract to purchase the land but may be halted if the city enacts the legislation.
