PROJECT TANGO DATA CENTER SPACE TRIPLES AFTER JULY VOTE

What happened: Palm Beach County zoning staff approved a plan on Oct. 7 that nearly triples data center space on part of the Project Tango property, separate from the expansion commissioners rejected in July. Key numbers: Space rises from 206,000 to just under 700,000 square feet. Why it matters: The approval came without another commission vote or public hearing because the application was submitted before the county's data center moratorium took effect, a point residents have questioned. A separate WPB Logistics proposal could add about 1.2 million square feet and remains under review.
