More than 3,700 furry and feathered residents of the Nashville Zoo are on the verge of getting a new, and unwelcome, neighbor—a data center a little bit bigger than a football field.
In staunchly pro-development Tennessee, the data center plan spearheaded by Atlanta-based DC BLOX is drawing widespread criticism because of its potential size and location. The initial data center facility will span 69,000 square feet with plans for an additional building to be built later on that would span 261,000 square feet—all next to one of the country’s most acclaimed wildlife institutions and conservation hubs.
