La Vergne City Commissioners are set to discuss a proposed zoning amendment that would significantly reduce the number of zoning districts where data centers are allowed. This amendment would remove three out of the four currently permitted zoning districts, making it more difficult to build new data centers in the city.

Gov: La Vergne City Commissioners

La Vergne City Commissioners are scheduled to hold a hearing to discuss a significant proposed zoning amendment. This amendment, if approved, would drastically alter where data centers can be constructed within the Middle Tennessee city.

Currently, data centers are permitted in four specific zoning districts across La Vergne. The new proposal aims to remove three of these districts from the approved list, effectively allowing data center development in only one designated area. This measure would make it considerably more challenging for new data center projects to be established in La Vergne.
