Materials

The project's published documents, "Model Instruments for Data Center Development in Florida Counties". The current release is hosted here. Every release is also kept at Zenodo, a public archive where anyone may deposit work; a record there is not a review. Each record has a DOI, a permanent address to cite.

Known gaps: no county has adopted the model documents, no lawyer has reviewed them, and there is no organization yet.

Current release: 2026.4

Published on 6 November 2026, in two records. Record 1 holds the model instruments: the ordinances, agreements and forms themselves (CC0 1.0, free to use without credit). Record 2 holds the guide, the open legal questions and the methodology (CC BY 4.0, free to use with credit and a note of any changes).

Earlier releases

Earlier releases are kept at Zenodo and are not hosted here. Release 2026.4 corrects errors in Release 2026.3; the 2026.4 change log (Markdown text, 33 KB), section 2, lists them. Releases 2026.1 and 2026.2, published as the Automation Resilience and Community Benefit Framework, are superseded by the current release.

How to cite

Cite the record you used, by its own DOI. Two more DOIs always lead to the newest release; use them to find it, not to cite: the instruments, doi:10.5281/zenodo.22216018, and the guide, the open legal questions and the methodology, doi:10.5281/zenodo.22216262.
