Florida communities are weighing the trade-offs of large data centers, which use significant amounts of electricity and water, as the state aims to attract more of these facilities. The St. Lucie County Commission is considering a rezoning application for a 15-million-sq.-ft. data center, while residents in Palm Beach County have expressed concerns over another proposed data center project. Utility companies like Florida Power & Light are trying to address affordability and other public concerns, but there is uncertainty around the long-term impacts and costs of these data centers.
