"Country star Brad Paisley spoke out against the proposed data center that could be built next to the Nashville Zoo in South Nashville.

The data center in question would be feet way from the park. According to the permit application by Jeremy Dreiling, the data center would be a single-story building that would span 69,220 square feet.

A spokesperson for the zoo said it is “vehemently opposed to the proposed data center being built next to the zoo.”

"By now you’ve probably heard about the proposed data center that they want to build next to the Nashville Zoo which is an absolute nightmare scenario,” Paisley said in an Instagram reel. “First of all, they don’t have the power to build this, they don’t have the water.
