Commission Workshop on Data Centers

Next date: Thursday, September 03, 2026 | 06:00 PM

This workshop comes as data centers have generated significant community conversation in recent months. The workshop is designed to move beyond speculation and provide residents with factual, expert-driven information on topics such as energy demand, water use and infrastructure planning.

Expected participants include representatives from Florida Power & Light (FPL), Peace River Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority and other industry experts.

Each speaker will make a short presentation followed by an opportunity for questions from the Commission.

The City has launched a dedicated information page where residents can find background materials, frequently asked questions and updates on the data center discussion: NorthPortFL.gov/DataCenterInfo.

The City also encourages residents to complete a short survey to help shape the focus of the Sept. 3 workshop. Community input from the survey will help ensure the meeting addresses the questions and concerns residents care about most.
