Rogersville passes ordinance tightly regulating data centers

A contentious issue involving regulation of datacenters in Rogersville was resolved at the Tuesday, Nov. 10 meeting with no consensus, but also without further controversy. In October, the Rogersville Planning Commission and legal advisors drew up a draft ordinance that, while not outright banning what it described as “high-density data centers” within the town limits, places so many regulations and restrictions on them that it would be very difficult to locate one in the town. Mayor John Metz openly supported the ordinance, feeling that it would protect the town from any such establishments and their potential side effects, such as high use of town electric and water resources, and noise pollution. However, since it is not a blanket ban, it will be very difficult for a data center or crypto mining business, either of which would fall in the scope of the ordinance, from mounting a legal challenge. There are many more avenues to challenge a complete ban than tight regulation. Metz also stated last month that at under the existing zoning regulations, Rogersville had no way to keep these businesses out. The ordinance passed its first reading last month by a 4-2 vote. Alderman Todd Biggs still expressed concern

Mt. Carmel Elementary gets veteran visit

MOUNT CARMEL — Mount Carmel Elementary fourth-grade students recently participated in a lesson that will stay with them for many years. Joe McCann, a local veteran of the US Marine Corps, visited with the fourth-grade class at MCES not long before Veterans Day, speaking to them about the importance of the American flag and what it represents. McCann demonstrated how to properly raise and take down the flag, and the reasons why and how a flag is sometimes retired. Students were taught the proper steps in folding the flag, and some students were allowed to participate in the folding process. He explained what “half staff” meant, and why the flag is sometimes raised only to half staff. Having served in the Marine Corps, Joe was honored to spend some time with the students. “It’s an honor to be asked to come and share this with students. Our flag represents so much and means a lot to me,” McCann stated. He took time for questions and even some stories from the students, many of whom had family members of their own who had served in the military. “With every fold, our flag tells a proud story,” author unknown. ~Submitted by Mt.
