Bristol Innovation Park
Landowners asked to rezone farmland in Bristol for a planned "innovation park" that could have allowed a large data center. After a big crowd opposed it and the county plan commission said no, the request was withdrawn in August 2026.
Where things stand: Landowners withdrew the rezoning request on Aug. 3, 2026, after a negative county recommendation.
🕒 Latest update (Aug 3, 2026): The landowners asked to withdraw the request; the Town Council accepted it.
