Dickson County TN six-month data center moratorium (2026)

Dickson County, Tenn. — SIX-MONTH MORATORIUM ON DATA CENTERS approved by the COUNTY COMMISSION at its regular meeting on a Monday night. THE FRAMING IS DIFFUSION: 'The same is now true for Dickson County after the county commission approved a six-month moratorium…' — the reporting positions the measure as one jurisdiction following others, which is the propagation dynamic stated from the inside at Cumberland RI data center zoning prohibition, Ordinance 26-22 (2026), where the sponsor said the idea came from watching a neighbouring Rhode Island town face an application and then finding that most state bills sat in committee. DURATION: six months is at the SHORT end of the indexed range (cf. Steuben County IN six-month data center moratorium (2026) six months; ne-gage-county twelve; wi-sauk-county eighteen; il-lawrence-county twenty-four; ar-independence-county sixty), implying a compressed drafting timetable and a materially elevated probability of an extension request. TENNESSEE CLUSTER: Gallatin TN 60-day data center application pause (2026) (Gallatin hosts a Meta campus and is weighing a further moratorium), Smithville TN 18-month data center moratorium (2026) (final approval, in effect), TN HB 1847 data center ratepayer protection (2026), Hamilton County TN 1-year data center moratorium (eff. July 15, 2026); Memphis, where xAI's Colossus facility prompted a moratorium proposal repeatedly delayed, most recently to 2026-10-06 (deferred); and a Nashville Metro Council drone-restriction measure in the queue. THE CAPTURED SENTENCE IS TRUNCATED at 'with 11th Distr[ict…]', so the commissioner named and the vote are unknown. NOT ESTABLISHED: the vote, the exact date, the resolution number, the operative scope, and any threshold.
