Florida data center developers table request amid protest, for now
Developers for the Project Neptune data center in Fort Pierce, Florida, tabled their rezoning application after a contentious Planning Board meeting met with strong public opposition. The Planning Board declined to vote on staff recommendations for data center zoning, prompting the developers to withdraw their request for now, though their attorney stated they would return. Residents and a political candidate expressed concerns about the project's impact and advocated for a data center moratorium.
