Project Tango is a proposed AI data center on 200 acres at the Central Park Commerce Center on Southern Boulevard in Loxahatchee, near Arden in western Palm Beach County. The Palm Beach Post reported that WPB Logistics LLC, an Atlanta-based developer, was seeking to build it; Stet News reports that the rezoning request came from longtime landowner PBA Holdings and that WPB Logistics, backed by Atlanta's TPA Group, objected and sued to block it. On July 15, 2026, after a more than 12-hour meeting, county commissioners voted 5-1 to deny the requested additional approvals without prejudice; the site's existing warehouse and data center entitlements from 2016 are unaffected. PBA Holdings has appealed under Florida's Land Use and Environmental Dispute Resolution Act, and the county is set to take a final vote on a one-year moratorium on large-scale data centers on Sept. 24, 2026.
