A proposal to rezone a 72-acre property in Citrus County for a data center has been put on hold. The Citrus County Planning Commission voted to defer a decision on the rezoning request for the property, located near the intersection of Southeast 58th Drive and Southeast 110th Street in Crystal River, until their next meeting.
The developer, Crystal River Land Holdings LLC, had requested a rezoning from agricultural to industrial to build a data center. However, concerns were raised about the potential impact on the local water supply and traffic. The Planning Commission decided to delay the vote to allow for more information to be gathered. In other news, three local athletes have advanced to the quarterfinals at the state track and field championships. The event was held on Friday, May 10, at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
No details were provided on the identity of the athletes or their specific events. The Citrus County Chronicle reported that the trio will compete in the next round of the championships. Local residents can expect to see updates on the rezoning proposal and the athletes’ progress in the coming weeks.
Residents interested in learning more about the rezoning proposal can visit the Citrus County Planning Commission’s website or attend the next meeting. More information on the state track and field championships can be found on the Florida High School Athletic Association’s website.
