Federal judge dismisses DC BLOX lawsuit over Nashville data center regulations
A federal judge dismissed DC BLOX's lawsuit against Nashville's metropolitan government, ruling that the city did not discriminate against the data center developer. DC BLOX had sued after Nashville adopted a moratorium and new regulations affecting data centers, including a proposed facility near the Nashville Zoo.
A federal judge ruled that the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County did not discriminate against data center developer DC BLOX when it adopted new regulations for data centers. The decision rejects DC BLOX's challenge to the city's regulatory actions.
DC BLOX purchased property near the Nashville Zoo for a large data center before the Metro Council enacted a moratorium and additional data center regulations. The company argued that the measures unfairly targeted its project, but the judge dismissed the lawsuit and found no discrimination by the metro government.
