Deltona has withdrawn its application for a permit to build a data center in Crystal River, Florida. The decision was made after a significant backlash from local residents and officials.
The proposed data center was slated to be built on a 27-acre property near the intersection of Northwest U.S. 19 and Northwest State Road 44 in Crystal River. The project had been met with fierce opposition from residents who expressed concerns about the potential environmental impact, traffic, and noise pollution.
