Bradley County residents oppose Project River industrial energy campus, potential data center

A proposed $11.3 billion "Project River" industrial energy campus, which could include a data center, is planned for an 850-acre site in Bradley County, Tennessee. Developers, the Wright family of Wright Construction, claim the project will generate 1,500 megawatts of electricity and create hundreds of jobs, while being self-sufficient in energy and water. However, local residents express strong opposition due to concerns about long-term impacts and a perceived lack of transparency.
