Summary: The Deltona Corporation sought a comprehensive plan amendment and zoning change for the Holder Industrial Park project, which included the possibility of a data center on an approximately 800-acre site in Holder near U.S. 41 and North Lecanto Highway (another report describes a combined footprint of around 1,400 acres including the adjacent 557-acre Holder Industrial Park). Citrus County enacted a one-year moratorium on new data centers on May 1, 2026, while discussions on the pre-moratorium proposal continued. Deltona withdrew its applications in June 2026, and hearings scheduled for July 14 were canceled.
