An update reveals a proposed DC BLOX data center near the Nashville Zoo could be three times larger than initially thought, spanning 200,000 square feet on 23 acres. The Zoo and Metro Council members are concerned about potential negative impacts on animals and are actively opposing the project.
The morning minute segment provided an update regarding the controversial data center proposed for construction next to the Nashville Zoo.
According to the Nashville Zoo, the data center, which is planned by DC BLOX, is now believed to be three times larger than initially anticipated. Documents suggest the facility could span up to 200,000 square feet on a 23-acre parcel directly adjacent to the zoo property.
The Zoo has expressed significant concerns that the expanded data center could have negative impacts on the animals housed at their facility. This concern has led to pushback from Metro Council members and members of the public, who are actively opposing the development. The situation remains ongoing as stakeholders await further developments.
