Say NO to Proposed Data Center At The Nashville Zoo!

The Issue

DC Blox, a digital infrastructure company, is trying to build a 68,220 square foot data center right next to the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere. The Nashville Zoo is an AZA (Association of Zoos and Aquariums) accredited institution that is dedicated to the wellbeing and conservation of the animals of the world, both in zoos and the wild. This data center would produce excessive noise and light and output toxic air pollutants that could severely affect animal welfare and guest enjoyment. The construction of the center would also require two office buildings to be torn down. In a statement to WKRN News 2, the Nashville Zoo said it is, “vehemently opposed to the proposed data center being built next to the Zoo.” By signing this petition, your voice will be one of many speaking out against this affront to all the Nashville Zoo has done for our environment.
