Edgewater, Florida city council is considering a ballot measure that would let voters decide whether to ban new data centers citywide, citing concerns over energy consumption and water usage.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building data centre capacity in Florida's coastal towns, municipal bans now come via ballot initiative rather than backroom planning. You need to track Edgewater and similar towns before they hit the ballot - that's your window to influence zoning before voters decide.
