Why this score?
Four weighted factors drive the Citrus County risk score. Methodology is fully documented — each input is public data or a reasoned proxy.
Major in-county power generation (≥1,500 MW). Developers can site hyperscale campuses next to existing plants.
Southwest Florida WMD — growing population, rising water stress.
Rural with significant open land. Most large parcels still available.
Known data center project in Citrus County.
No active data center in Citrus County — yet.
Palm Beach got four days notice before their first zoning vote. Okeechobee just canceled Okee-One after 3,000 signatures. What they did, you can do — but only if you're ready before the proposal lands.
