• Proposed 15 million square-foot AI data center in St. Lucie County faces pushback (wptv.com) — Palm Beach County officials have delayed a key vote on a proposed AI data center in The Acreage, even as a much larger 15-million-square-foot project in St. Lucie County faces strong resident pushback. Concerns range from traffic, light pollution, and water use to whether such massive industrial-style facilities belong in rural, agricultural areas. The timing of any final decisions on both projects remains uncertain.
