Objective
Regulate Project River - Bradley County TN
Project River
Project River is a proposed $11.3 billion industrial campus and data center development slated for approximately 850 acres along the Hiwassee River in Bradley County, Tennessee. The project, whose developers have not been fully publicly identified, is described as a large-scale tech infrastructure and manufacturing campus intended to be self-sufficient in energy and water production.
Why this is a target
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.
