10/13/26 Public Hearing

Coffee County, Tennessee, held a public hearing on October 13, 2026, regarding proposed zoning-resolution amendments. Public comments addressed a proposed rezoning near Highway 55 and Halker Smith Road, with a nearby property owner urging traffic controls because of crashes and heavy traffic. The hearing also covered a C-1 text change described as housekeeping and proposed prerequisite conditions for data centers in the county’s rural area. No votes or procurement actions are shown in the transcript.

Speakers raised concerns and suggested changes to the data-center conditions, including clearer water-use limits and public reporting, independent review of water impacts, stricter noise limits and setbacks, stronger enforcement, and reimbursement for fire and emergency-service response costs. Other speakers supported adopting baseline protections before a moratorium ends. The transcript ends before the regular meeting begins, so it does not establish whether the amendments were adopted. No contracts, vendors, budgets, or other procurement activity were identified.
