Flagler County commissioners are considering a one-year moratorium on new data centre projects in unincorporated areas, citing lack of regulations governing electrical demand, water use, and infrastructure impacts. The move comes as Palm Coast residents express concerns over the DC BLOX cable landing station and Google's subsea fibre project already under construction.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building data centre infrastructure in Florida, this is the week local zoning closes: Flagler votes on a one-year moratorium 13 July. The dominoes are falling—Palm Coast already has stricter code language coming, and every county that sees a cable landing station is now writing the regulations that DC BLOX and Google didn't have to follow.
