Small Towns Fight Data Center Boom | Nashville News
Description
Tiny town St. Joseph is taking a bold stand against data centers, voting to ban them outright before any applications even arrive, fearing they’ll overwhelm water, power, and roads — even though one rumored project lies just outside their borders. Meanwhile, nearby Lawrenceburg prepares to vote on permits for Scalepoint TN, a mysterious data center project that’s sparked months of media speculation. As towns wrestle with the lure of tech jobs versus the strain on their rural infrastructure, St. Joseph’s move signals a growing national reckoning: communities are demanding control over their futures.
