ExoticRidge Crypto Company Bulls Gap data mining center

ExoticRidge Crypto Company Bulls Gap data mining center, a data center project in Bulls Gap, TN, has stalled. ExoticRidge Crypto Company planned a crypto/data mining center in Bulls Gap. Hawkins County's ban on data centers and crypto mines blocked it; ExoticRidge filed a federal lawsuit claiming the ban is unconstitutional and violates state law. County attorneys recommended clarifying the ordinance in June 2026. (Source dated 2026-06-23.).
