Data Center Under Construction In Humboldt, TN

2 Upvotes

The information in this article was confirmed by Mayor Arthur Boykin.

The project has secured all necessary approvals, including a feasibility study and load approval from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), as well as approval from the Humboldt Planning Commission. City and county economic development officials have been informed throughout the process and fully support the development due to its positive impact on the community. Project owners are funding all required utility infrastructure improvements, with approximately $180,000 already invested at no cost to Humboldt Utilities or its customers.

Humboldt Mayor Arthur Boykin emphasized that the project will not strain existing utility services.

Humboldt Utilities officials note that the data center will not reduce electric service reliability for existing customers. The area’s system peak demand was about 55 megawatts in 1996 and stands at roughly 40 megawatts today. Adding the new 15 MW load would simply return the system to levels successfully served nearly 30 years ago. TVA’s engineering review confirmed the regional grid can handle the additional demand.

To further protect reliability, the data center has agreed to curtail its electric load during extreme weather events or grid emergencies when requested by TVA. This makes the facility a flexible asset that can help prioritize power for homes, businesses, schools, hospitals, and other critical needs.

Water demand from the facility is minimal, approximately 2 million gallons per year, compared to Humboldt Utilities’ largest industrial customer, which uses 2-3 million gallons per day. The data center will not discharge wastewater into the sewer system.

Located in an industrial area adjacent to the Gibson County Industrial Park and separated from residential neighborhoods, the project underwent an independent acoustical study. Results show it is not expected to create a detrimental noise impact on nearby properties.

Financially, the data center is projected to generate about $8.5 million in annual electric revenue for Humboldt Utilities. After costs, it is expected to produce more than $600,000 in net annual revenue. As a publicly owned utility, these funds will help ease pressure on residential and small business electric rates, strengthen the utility’s financial position, support infrastructure improvements, and maintain reliable service for the community

Psychiatrists

5 Upvotes

I live in Hardeman county about 45 minutes from Jackson and about 45 minutes from Memphis where I lived most of my life. Long Story Short: I have PTSD, ive been seeing a psychiatrist in memphis for 8 and for 5 1/2 years he has absolutely refused to go up my panic attack medication (half a 1mg tablet to one full tablet twice a day as needed) evn though he knows ive developed a tolerance to said dosage. So when I come out of night terror or a flashback in a full blown panic attack, the dosage he prescribes doesnt work. The past 2 months I've had to take it upon myself to increase to a tablet and a half to 2 tablets leading me to get relief but running out early. Any one know of psychiatrists in Jackson that wouldnt be so dismissive if my problems and ridiculous about increasing my dosage?

Moving to Jackson for work — what should I know before I get there?

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'll be visiting Jackson next week for a job opportunity that has been my top choice out of several options across different states. I wanted to reach out to the community before my visit to get a feel for the area.

A little about me: I'm originally from South America and moved to the US for medicine. I've lived in NYC, Gainesville FL, and currently Cleveland OH — so I've experienced a range of city sizes and lifestyles. I'll be joining Jackson-Madison County General Hospital as a physician and I'm genuinely excited about the opportunity to take care of this community.

A few things about my situation that might help with recommendations:
- No kids, just pets (dogs and cats)
- Looking to rent in a safe, nice area
- Don't mind a short commute to the hospital

I've also read that Jackson has a very strong church presence. I respect that completely, but as someone who isn't religious, I'd love to know if there's still a good social scene or community outside of that.

Some specific questions:
- Best neighborhoods or areas to look at for renting?
- Hidden gem restaurants or local spots worth trying?
- Things to do on weekends — outdoor activities, events, anything?
- Pet-friendly places or parks?
- Anything you wish you knew before moving there?

Thanks in advance — looking forward to potentially becoming part of the Jackson community!

Grief Support Camp for Children

5 Upvotes

Hi.

It's been a few years since I visited Tennessee, but I want to help spread the word about a wonderful charity group.

I volunteer for a non-profit that organizes free, grief/bereavement support camps for children, age 7 - 17, who lost a parent, sibling, caretaker, or other family member.

It's called Comfort Zone Camp.

They are based in Virginia, and they have camps throughout the year and throughout the country (e.g. California, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Utah, and Virginia).

This year, they are planning a new camp location in Tennessee (a little east of Nashville), during the weekend (Fri - Sun) of October 16 - 18.

It's free, no cost / no charge (due to generous donations)

and

There's no political agenda or religious affiliation

If anyone knows a parent with a child(ren) who has experienced loss, please feel free to share with them about this camp (again, it's free to attend).

Death of a loved one can be very traumatic and devastating...especially for kids...so it can be very beneficial for them to not feel alone in coping with their sadness, pain, grief, etc.

More info (such as how to register a child to attend) can be found on their website comfortzonecamp.org

Their social media @comfortzonecamp (IG, FB, etc.) can show what the camp is like.

Also, if anyone is interested in volunteering, please feel free to lmk, and I can add some more info or check out their website.

Moving to Jackson with a family - Where to live?

3 Upvotes

My family and I will be moving to Jackson, TN for about 3 years while I attend graduate school which is located in Jackson, and I am hoping to get some updated insight since most of the posts I found are a few years old.

We have two young boys ages 8 and 4, so schools and safety are our top priorities. We will be renting and are trying to figure out the best areas to look.

From what I have gathered so far, it seems like areas north of I-40 are generally recommended. It looks like that would put us near Pope School, and south of I-40 would be closer to Parkview Montessori Magnet School. Both seem to have decent ratings, but I would really appreciate hearing real experiences from parents.

A few questions:

  • Is north of I-40 really the best area for families?
  • Are there neighborhoods or areas we should avoid?
  • Any experiences with Pope versus Parkview Montessori?
  • Are there better surrounding towns within a reasonable commute that we should consider instead?

We are open to commuting if it means better schools and a safer, more family friendly environment. We really appreciate any insight. Thanks!
