Citrus County Issues Moratorium on Data Centers to Consider Pros and Cons

Citrus County Commissioners have implemented a 12-month moratorium on new data center developments. The temporary measure was put in place to give commissioners adequate time to thoroughly evaluate the potential positive and negative impacts that such facilities could have on the community.

During this year-long pause, the commission plans to assess and consider the implementation of new regulations. These potential regulations would specifically pertain to building permits and overall development standards for data centers within Citrus County.
