The Board of Mayor and Aldermen in Kingsport has unanimously approved amendments to zoning laws that benefit cryptocurrency mining and data centers. Operations are limited to enclosed facilities located away from residential zones, reflecting a growing acceptance of cryptocurrency in Tennessee.
The new regulations mandate that crypto mining companies conduct sound studies and maintain noise levels below 60 dBA. This effort aims to balance technological growth with community comfort, ensuring that noise complaints seen in other states do not occur in Kingsport.
