Chattanooga, TN, September 24, 2026 —
The Rossville Planning Commission is currently deliberating on a new ordinance aimed at establishing regulations for data centers within the city limits. This initiative comes as the commission reviews development proposals for technology facilities.
The catalyst for these discussions is the planned development of a small-scale technology facility by BridgTRK. In response to this and potential future projects, the commission is proposing specific development standards and size limitations for data centers. These proposed standards are intended to guide the growth of such facilities within the community.
The commission’s role is to review the proposed ordinance and related development plans. Following their deliberation, the commission is expected to formulate a recommendation. This recommendation will then be forwarded to the city government, which will hold the authority for a final vote on whether to adopt the new regulations.
Details regarding the specific proposed development standards, size limits, or the exact timeline for BridgTRK’s facility were not fully elaborated in the summary provided. The contractor’s name, BridgTRK, was explicitly mentioned. The outcome of the commission’s recommendation and the city’s final vote are pending.
