Lakeland is primed to become a data center hotspot, developer says

A Lakeland developer, Franklin Cruz of True Investments Development, believes the city is a prime location for data centers, citing potential tax revenue and available industrial sites. However, residents have voiced strong opposition to a proposed hyperscale data center in West Lakeland, raising concerns about power and water demands. The main hurdle for the project is zoning, as the city's current Land Development Code does not include a direct category for data centers.
