What opposition is there to the Project Tango data center?
Over 10,000 petitions have been collected, leading to a push for a moratorium. The July 15 hearing follows site tweaks, echoing Ag Reserve and warehouse growth fights with community divisions.
Will Palm Beach County Mayor Sara Baxter vote on Project Tango?
Mayor Sara Baxter may sit out the data center vote. The proposal continues to divide communities over growth impacts.
County commissioners narrowly chose to solicit more data-center consultant proposals instead of hiring VHB, leaving countywide rules unresolved.
