Metro Council unanimously passes data center regulations and temporary moratorium

Metro Nashville is one step closer to significantly changing how data centers are developed in Davidson County. Tuesday night, Metro Council unanimously approved both a data center regulations bill and a temporary moratorium on new data center development, establishing the county’s first comprehensive zoning framework for future data center projects. "I'm excited tonight that we have unanimously passed comprehensive and strict restrictions on data centers throughout all of Davidson County," Councilmember Rollin Horton, the sponsor of the bill, told FOX 17 News. The legislation now heads to Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s desk. The mayor has previously expressed support for both measures, and they are expected to be signed into law.
