The Nashville Zoo wants to stop a 69,000-square-foot data center from being built steps away from its facility, which houses more than 3,000 animals.

The popular animal attraction received more than 524,000 signatures on a petition that urged city leaders to intervene with construction of DC Blox’s proposed data center.
