Bristol Town Council votes in favor of annexation of 500 acres of farmland

BRISTOL, Ind. -- The Bristol Town Council voted Thursday evening, 3-1 in favor of the annexation of 500 acres of farmland.

Many Bristol residents have raised concerns about the annexation of the land, as residents do not want the land to be used for a data center.

But according to the Town of Bristol's social media, talks of a data center proposal are all speculation.

With the annexation now moving forward, there will be another vote at a later date to rezone the land from agricultural to industrial.
