The Citrus County Board of Commissioners has halted two proposed data center projects in the county. The decision was made during a meeting on Monday night, March 18, 2024, at the Citrus County Administration Building, 405A W. Adams St, Inverness, Florida.
The board voted to suspend the projects due to concerns over the potential impact on the environment and the community. The data centers, which were proposed by two separate companies, would have been built on properties in the unincorporated areas of Citrus County. Commissioners expressed worries about the potential effects on the local water supply, traffic, and property values.
