This needs to be shared as much as possible! A Data Center would only benefit the county as the tax income is huge! THIS IS VERY ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF HOW DATA CENTERS WILL AFFECT PASCO COUNTY AS IT IS A 862 SQUARE MILE COUNTY. A COUNTY THE SAME EXACT SIZE BANNED ANY DATA CENTERS FROM BEING BUILT! AN 18 MONTH MORATORIUM NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED AS 12 MONTHS IS NOT LONG ENOUGH. PCBOCC IS PUSHING FOR THIS FOR THE TAX REVENUE IT WILL PROVIDE THEM NOT THE CONSTITUENTS!
PLEASE SHARE THIS AND DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH! PASCO COUNTY CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE FLORIDAN AQUIFER CONTAMINATED! THIS 100,000 MILE AQUIFER PROVIDES WATER TO FLORIDA, GEORGIA, ALABAMA AND PARTS OF THE CAROLINAS! THIS CANNOT PASS.

Burn bans in effect for Pasco County residents but developers are free to do as they please! Thay also are pumping millions of gallons of water out of the aquifer each day for 33 million gallon lagoons! Pasco county commissioner Ron Oakley and Florida AG commissioner Wilton Simpson allow it! Time for a change! Vote Matt “The Welder” Taylor in and get Simpson out! He and Ron Oakley are related! So is Florida house of Representative Randy Maggard. Stop voting your political party and vote the professional politicians destroying Florida out! I’m voting Matt Taylor and Bobby Williams for Governor! Byron Donalds is a developer! He will finish Florida off!

Burn bans in effect for Pasco County residents as well as water restrictions. However, developers can burn and pump millions of gallons of water a day from the Floridan Aquifer for 33 million gallon lagoons and wasteful water features. The rust bucket of water is now what we get from our well! We are now spending thousands of dollars to ensure we as well as our horses have safe drinking water! Vote Pasco County Commissioners out! Ron Oakley and current AG Commissioner Wilton Simpson are related which is why we residents are still on 1 day a week water restrictions! Vote Matt “The Welder” Taylor in as Florida’s new AG commissioner! Otherwise Florida will run out of water!

Wilton Simpson has been permanently blocked from this page. This page is dedicated to saving Pasco county from Wilton Simpson, Randy Maggard and Pasco County commissioner Ron Oakley who are related and working together to ignore Florida statutes! Time to break the trio up! Vote Matt Taylor for Florida’s Agricultural Commissioner and Bobby Williams for governor!

Wilton Simpson you have allowed bald eagles, gopher tortoises, countless sand cranes, Florida panthers, deer, bear, alligators all for the sake of development with your relatives Florida House of Representatives Randy Maggard and Pasco County commissioner Ron Oakley! You have allowed developers to drain the Floridan Aquifer to the point Florida’s springs are drying up! All to build numerous 33 million gallon lagoons and wasteful water features! While Florida is experiencing the worst drought in 25 years! You have done NOTHING about gas gouging during holidays or plywood price gouging during hurricane warnings! Now you post some piece of land “you” are saving? What about the thousands of swamps and wetlands you allowed to be filled in for thousands of cookie cutter subdivisions? You are history as Matt “The Welder” Taylor will be the next Agricultural Commissioner! This will break up the corrupt trio of Simpson, Maggard, & Oakley! We are paying attention to every single Florida Statue that has been ignored! These are in place for a reason but you and Maggard & Oakley has chosen to ignore them! NO DATA CENTER IN DADE CITY! PERIOD! This is what data centers do to the land around them!

Oh yes I totally suffer from solastalgia (look it up). I have watched 30th street turn into new Tampa. Hwy54 is now whatever they want to call it! Then Wesley Chapel started at the Hillsborough County line! The sprawl continued as the Porter Ranch was sold to developers! The development came at warp speed and has never slowed down. SR56 was built rapidly. In 2020 there was nothing out there and now cookie cutter zero lot line subdivisions line it! Now here we are in the worst drought in 25 years yet PCBOCC continues to allow developers pump millions of gallons of water each day to build 33 million gallon lagoons, wasteful water features as we are on a 1 day a week water restriction! Also there has been minimal traffic infrastructure. Between 1996 and 2025 there have been over 2,500 traffic fatalities In Pasco County! So far in 2026 Pasco is nearing 41. Time to speak up as PCBOCC is planning thousands of new homes, assisted living facility with 300 beds, a hotel and a 4,000 acre water park to be built on Hwy 301 to SR56. This will add a minimum of 20,000 more vehicles to the already backed up with several fatal accidents onto Hwy 301. Northeast Rural Dade City is being targeted for Data Center simply because of the huge taxes it will give PCBOCC not its residents). Data centers uses a huge amount of water, electricity, natural gas (all 3 power companies do not have the capacity to handle the power needed! (Florida Gas Transmission states the same concerns) and only provide 20 jobs. They run 24/7 with noise levels higher than 92 decibels as the fans run continuously. Pasco County does not have the power or water to handle a data center. They leave an area completely dead! See the picture of a data center! PCBOCC will be making the decision on July 9th! Time to pack the Dade City Historic Courthouse to tell them NO!

NO DATA CENTERS IN PASCO COUNTY FLORIDA. PASCO COUNTY FLORIDA IS ONLY A 862 SQUARE MILE COUNTY WHICH CURRENTLY HAS 700,000 IN POPULATION!

A growing global movement is seeing people object to data centres in their locality.

PLEASE LET PASCO PLANNING & COMMISSIONERS KNOW HOW DESTRUCTIVE DATA CENTERS ARE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS. DATA CENTERS ARE LOUD, PRODUCE HEAT, DROP PROPERTY VALUES WILL TOTALLY DESTROY SURROUNDING LIVABILITY AND POISON WATER. PASCO COUNTY IS ONLY 862 SQUARE MILE COUNTY WHICH IS ALREADY OVER DEVELOPED! PASCO COUNTY CANNOT AFFORD TO HANDLE A DATA CENTER. PLANNING AND COMMISSIONERS CANNOT SNEAK IT INTO A LARGE WAREHOUSE WITHOUT THE PASCO COUNTY RESIDENTS TOTALLY UNAWARE. BASICALLY IS WHAT PASCO COUNTY PLANNING AND COMMISSIONERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO DO!
