Gov: Leon County Commissioners

The Leon County Commission unanimously approved an 18-month pause on applications for new large-scale data centers in unincorporated parts of Leon County. The moratorium does not apply to incorporated municipalities such as Tallahassee.

County officials said the temporary halt will allow the county to address the infrastructure and utility demands associated with data centers before considering additional applications.
