The City of Ormond Beach is reviewing potential actions regarding data centers. Commissioners have expressed concerns about the resources data centers utilize and their impact on surrounding communities. Some commissioners are in favor of banning data centers and have suggested staff explore options to implement such a ban, considering current legislation. This review indicates a planning stage where the city is considering policy changes. The work could involve studies, legal reviews, and potentially the development of new ordinances. Local businesses involved in engineering, legal services, and potentially construction or technology consulting may find opportunities to engage with the city as these discussions progress. Early involvement could provide insight into the city's direction.
