“Instead of providing facilities that facilitate the transmission of data… they are a user,” said Chancellor John Rambo, according to News Channel 11. Red Dog technologies leased facilities from power company BrightRidge, also named in the lawsuit filed by Washington County, Tennessee, in November of last year.
In February 2020, BrightRidge was granted a rezoning permit to move from “General Agriculture District” to “Agriculture Business District.
