Palm Beach County votes on 'Project Tango' AI data center

Palm Beach County commissioners vote Wednesday on 'Project Tango', a proposed hyperscale AI data center near Arden, after months of delays and a zoning commission recommendation to reject. The project expands on 2016 warehouse approvals but faces community opposition over noise, water, and power usage, with several similar Florida projects already withdrawn. If you're building AI infrastructure in Florida, hyperscale data centres now face municipality-by-municipality opposition that kills projects regardless of technical compliance. The zoning path that worked in 2016 no longer works in 2026 — you need a different political play.
