In other local news, the Deltona City Council has dropped its application for a new water treatment plant, citing a proposed data center that would have been built nearby as a major setback. The data center, which was proposed by a private developer, would have been constructed on a 67-acre site near the intersection of International Speedway Blvd and US-92 in Deltona. However, the project was met with significant opposition from local residents and officials, citing concerns about traffic, noise, and environmental impact.
The Deltona City Council's decision to drop the water treatment plant application was made during a meeting on Monday night, June 26. The council voted unanimously to withdraw the application, citing the potential negative impacts of the proposed data center on the area. 'This was a difficult decision, but we believe it is in the best interest of our city,' said Deltona Mayor, John M. Purzycki.
The proposed data center is still under review by the state, and a decision is expected in the coming months. Residents can stay up-to-date on the latest developments by visiting the Citrus County Chronicle website or the City of Deltona website.
