Project River Data Center
Project River is a $11.3 billion industrial campus and data center project proposed for 850 acres along the Hiwassee River in Bradley County, Tennessee. Developers say it will be behind the meter, produce it's own energy and water, but there hasn't been independent verification about the environmental impact.
Objectives
Regulate Project River - Bradley County TN
Target
Project River
Project River represents one of the largest proposed industrial developments in Tennessee history, situated along a sensitive river corridor. Demanding independent environmental review before any permits are issued is a concrete, achievable campaign goal. Because the project's developers are seeking local and potentially state-level permits, community members and elected officials represent direct leverage points. Future tenants, investors, and financing partners of the campus are also potential pressure targets, as reputational and financial risk to the project could delay or reshape its environmental terms.
