Notes on the record
Site described as near County Road 491 & Tram Road, Lecanto, within/adjoining the existing 557-acre Holder Industrial Park. Sources disagree on the exact expansion acreage (352Today describes a 675-777 acre 'Data Center Use Area' within a >1,300-acre rezoning request; FloridaDataCenters.org describes expansion to ~813 acres) so landAcres is omitted rather than picking one. No specific data-center operator/tenant beyond landowner-developer Deltona Corporation (attorney of record: Sid Ansbacher) was named in any source found this run. The withdrawal came after a county-wide data-center moratorium took effect May 26, 2026, any future Deltona filing on this site is now a new filing subject to that 12-month moratorium, per FloridaDataCenters.org. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of Lecanto, the nearest named place in sourcing, not the parcel itself.

- The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
