What's next? The future of Project Tango after county vote

Palm Beach County commissioners voted 5-1 to deny expansion of a hyperscale AI data center (Project Tango), but the developer retains approval to build a 2-million-square-foot facility approved in 2016 and can resubmit a scaled-down proposal without prejudice. If you're building AI infrastructure, hyperscale approvals in the US are getting harder even when local politicians want them. Palm Beach just rejected expansion, but the real signal is that a smaller footprint—or moving to a different county—may now be your only path forward.
