EMAIL MY COMMISSIONER

Dear Commissioner Commissioner, My name is [YOUR NAME], and I am a resident of [COUNTY] County. I am asking you to support an Escambia-style resolution and a full prohibition on hyperscale and large-scale data centers in our county. Escambia County has already provided Florida communities with a proof of concept. In Resolution 2026-71, Escambia County identified concerns including extraordinary electrical-capacity requirements, significant water-resource demands, expanded wastewater capacity, substantial utility and transmission infrastructure, demands on finite public infrastructure and natural resources, and comparatively few permanent employment opportunities relative to those demands. Escambia County then enacted Ordinance 2026-30, expressly banning large-scale data centers within the unincorporated area of the county. I am asking you to support bringing a similar resolution before our County Commission and to direct the county attorney and appropriate staff to evaluate and prepare the legal steps necessary for a full local prohibition. The time to decide whether hyperscale development belongs in our county is before a major application, land purchase, infrastructure commitment, or development proposal is already underway. This is not about opposing technology. It is about responsible land use, infrastructure protection, community resources, and deciding what type of development is appropriate for the people who already live here. Will you support bringing this issue before the County Commission? Thank you for your service and for considering this request. Sincerely, [YOUR NAME] [CITY], Florida
