Conflicts and open questions
- Status conflict: NewsChannel 5 (June 2026) listed it among existing data centers and WSMV (June 2026) among confirmed ones; WKRN (Aug. 2026) says under construction. The latest report controls.
- The school across the street is called elementary by WKRN and Richard Dinkins Middle School by NewsChannel 5.
- The Metro rezoning ordinance itself was not found; the Feb. 2025 date is from WKRN and RadiusDC's account is unverified by NewsChannel 5.
- RadiusDC's own Nashville page was not opened, so the operator's facts come from its press release and from reporting.
- Coordinates are approximate, from the Trinity Hills area; the street address could not be geocoded here.
