Knoxville City Council to Vote on Data Center Moratorium

By The BriefBrief

Council to consider a one-year emergency pause on large data centers needing 10+ MW, citing gaps in zoning definitions.

WHO: Knoxville City Council; city staff and officials

WHAT: First reading and vote on an emergency ordinance proposing a one-year moratorium on large data centers (10 megawatts or more)

WHEN: Jul 6, 2026 at 10:46 AM ET

WHERE: Knoxville, Tennessee

WHY: Knoxville’s zoning code does not specifically define data centers, leaving key impacts (size, location, noise, and operations) unaddressed; the moratorium would allow time to study and recommend future land-use rules.
