Map sources and method

The state outline is adapted from the U.S. Census Bureau 2025 cartographic boundary file. Facility coordinates are adapted from Compute Atlas by Edward Kubiak, edition 1.33.0, under CC BY 4.0. Outline and markers use one geographic projection before any explicitly disclosed readability offset. Exact singleton source anchors are never moved. A one-kilometre boundary tolerance prevents the simplified 1:20,000,000 outline from hiding legitimate border-area source points; farther conflicts are disclosed, not clamped. DataCenterData groups source-reported city coordinates only within a bounded map radius; the outline does not validate a facility record.

Where the records were checked

Statewide audit pending

A few checked sites

This is not a list of every data center in the state, and the number here is not a count of them. There are almost certainly more.

Statewide coverage is not complete. The records below are sourced; a full statewide count has not been published.

State research audit window ended 12 September 2026. Individual records and claims below show their own evidence dates and may be newer.

Next scheduled review: 12 March 2027.

0 independently source-linked project/campus records; 1 independently source-linked facility/building record; 0 attributed or unresolved rows. These counts use different units and must not be added together.

Source families checked, selected records and remaining gaps

These notes name selected records, say which kinds of public evidence were checked and show what remains missing. They do not add anything to the published counts.

  • economic development incentives — Partly checked
    • No public roster of DR-14DCP certificate holders was found; recipient names may be confidential taxpayer information.
    • SelectFlorida and county economic development authority announcement archives were not swept.
    • No Florida Commerce or Governor's Office project-award announcement was retrieved.

    Selected records

  • utility commission large load — Checked
    • The FPSC docket index itself was not browsed, so other 2025-2026 filings that might name specific customers were not enumerated.
    • FPL and Duke ten-year site plans and any special contracts or electric service agreements were not retrieved.
    • No Florida utility publishes a large-load interconnection queue that was reachable in the current review.

    Selected records

  • environmental construction permits — Partly checked
    • APDS was down for maintenance; no air permit keyword search was completed for Florida.
    • Water management district Environmental Resource Permits (SFWMD, SJRWMD, SWFWMD) were not searched, including the CoreSite OR1 ERP modification reported for May 2026.
    • County and city building, grading and generator permit portals were not searched.

    Selected records

  • municipal planning assessor gis — Partly checked
    • St. Lucie County's Laserfiche public portal was not queried directly for Sentinel Grove, Willow Lakes or Atlas Compute.
    • Citrus County, Okeechobee County, Osceola County, Nassau County and Miami-Dade County agenda and minutes systems were not reached.
    • The Palm Beach County zoning resolution ZR-2025-014 download failed (connection reset) and the post-hearing BCC resolution recording the denial was never located.
    • No Florida property appraiser or GIS parcel record was queried, so no research lead has a parcel ID confirmed from an assessor.
    • The Fort Pierce city rezoning file for Willow Lakes was not located.

    Selected records

  • tax abatement development agreements — Partly checked
    • Fort Meade's ordinance and agenda documents could not be retrieved during review; the development agreement text and its ordinance number are unknown.
    • Florida counties' economic development ad valorem exemption ordinances were not searched.
    • No county or city development, PILOT or infrastructure agreement was retrieved for any research lead.
  • operator disclosures — Partly checked
    • Equinix's Miami IBX roster was blocked, so Equinix facilities beyond MI1 are unaccounted for.
    • CoreSite, Digital Realty, Flexential, QTS, RadiusDC, Iron Mountain, Metrobloks and HostDime operator pages were not individually read.
    • No hyperscaler location page was opened to confirm the absence of Florida sites; the finding rests on search results only.

    Selected records

  • open datasets directories — Checked
    • Compute Atlas source URLs were followed only for the Project Tango, Sentinel Grove and FPSC leads; most of its underlying press and operator links were not yet reviewed directly.
    • No unlicensed directory (Data Center Map, Baxtel, datacenters.com, PeeringDB) was used, so directory-only Florida facilities absent from Compute Atlas are missing.

    Selected records

  • historical closures withdrawals names — Checked
    • No county record of any of the five withdrawals or denials was retrieved; each rests on news or the Compute Atlas status field.
    • Older Florida closures, demolitions, renames and acquisitions before 2024 were not searched at all.
    • The Equinix MI1 rename from NAP of the Americas and the RadiusDC ownership chain were taken from Compute Atlas notes and not confirmed against filings.

    Selected records

  • news and other discovery — Partly checked
    • Only two news articles were opened; most reporting was seen as search-result snippets and is not cited.
    • Advocacy trackers such as FloridaDataCenters.org were seen in search results but never opened or cited.
