Florida's Manatee County adopted Ordinance 26-42 on Oct. 8, a 12-month moratorium on new building permits, site plans, rezonings and comprehensive plan amendments for data centers and other large-load facilities.

For CRE owners and developers, local entitlement risk is now a first underwriting question for AI data center land, right next to power.
