Proposed
Crusoe data center (Kahla Project, Leon County)
Also called: Kahla Project
Crusoe plans a $34 billion AI data center in rural Leon County, to open in 2028. More than 200 residents came to oppose a tax break. Commissioners rejected the first request because it was incomplete.
Where things stand: Commissioners turned down the first tax break request in July 2026 because it was incomplete; Crusoe plans to reapply.
🕒 Latest update (July 13, 2026): Leon County commissioners rejected Crusoe's first tax break application as incomplete; 200+ residents attended.
