Florida Secretary of Commerce blasts newly-approved plan to build data center in Fort Meade
Florida's Secretary of Commerce, Alex Kelly, has strongly criticized the Fort Meade City Commission's recent approval of a hyperscale data center. Kelly raised concerns regarding the project's substantial power and water demands, which he believes the local infrastructure cannot support, and potential traffic issues. The Mayor, Jarrett Landon Williams, clarified that the city's approval is an initial step, with many further regulatory processes and community engagement opportunities remaining.
