Data center ordinances headed to Caryville mayor, aldermen for final approval

The Town of Caryville Planning Commission in Tennessee has moved forward with proposed zoning ordinances concerning data centers. At a recent meeting, the commission defined data centers as secure physical facilities used to house, power, and cool extensive computer systems and networking equipment. These ordinances also specify that data centers would be permitted within M-1 zones, designated as planned industrial park districts. The planning commission officially approved these ordinances, which will now be presented to the Caryville Board of Mayor and Aldermen for their final consideration and approval.
