Dozens of residents in Cleveland, Tennessee, gathered Sunday evening to protest "Project River," an $11.3 billion energy campus proposal. The project, planned for an 850-acre privately-owned parcel by the Wright family, is set to include a large-scale data center and power plant in Bradley County.
Project River is touted as a significant investment that would boost the local economy, potentially reviving the forestry industry, and provide funding for public services without increasing taxes. However, the silent protest indicates growing community opposition to the development.
