Pinellas County closes the door on large-scale data centers$
Pinellas County commissioners have directed staff to draft a resolution formally reaffirming that large-scale, standalone data centers are already prohibited in unincorporated areas under existing zoning code. This decision aims to address public concerns regarding resource consumption and limited industrial land, distinguishing the county's approach from other Florida localities that have enacted moratoriums. The resolution is intended to clarify the county's stance without changing current laws.
