Franklin-Simpson Data Storage and Service Center (TenKey LandCo)
TenKey LandCo I LLC. Approved
TenKey LandCo I LLC has proposed the Franklin-Simpson Data Storage and Service Center, three 200,000 square foot buildings on about 200 acres near Interstate 65's Exit 2 at the southern edge of Franklin, each phase estimated at 1.6 billion dollars. The Franklin Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously in March 2026 to approve a preliminary development plan, though it asked for more detail on stormwater, on site power generation, and regulation. A local group, Franklin Citizens for Responsible Development, sued in April 2026 to challenge the approval, and Simpson County's separate attempt to require a conditional use permit for the project has also drawn a lawsuit from the developer.
