Nashville Zoo urging residents to attend public hearing on proposed data center

The Nashville Zoo is urging residents to attend a Metro Council public hearing to oppose a proposed data center near its property. The zoo seeks support for suspending rules to add the mayor's acquisition bill to the agenda, passing legislation (BL2026-1391) to protect data center development, and a temporary moratorium (BL2026-1448). DC Blox, the company behind the data center, claims the project is legally protected.
