Keystone Heights attorney: data center not coming to airport

Key points:

“Nobody approached us for that,” Keystone Heights City Attorney Rich Komando said about a letter to the editor in the Lake Region Monitor and emails to city officials about a hyperscale data center at the airport. He said during the city council’s Oct. 5 meeting that there is “no interest, application, nothing related to that type of data center” at the airport, which also lacks the infrastructure such a facility would need.

During the same  meeting, council members approved raising lot prices at the city-owned cemetery from $2,000 to $2,500 and cremation niche prices from $850 to $1,250.

City Manager James “Jamie” Booth reported that the city ended the 2025-26 fiscal year on Sept. 30 with about $1,722,000 in general fund revenue, roughly $11,000 more than budgeted. Expenses came in at about $1,699,000 against a $1,739,000 budget.
