The 30-second read

Recorded outcome

Board of county commissioners will hold continued discussion regarding county reserve policy

The Manatee County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved a data center moratorium, adopted an ordinance regulating simulated gambling devices, and approved numerous routine consent agenda items during its September 22, 2026 regular meeting. The board also appointed two residents to the Infrastructure Sales Tax Advisory Board and approved a $225,000 payment for the Central County Complex agreement.

Why it matters

Residents face new temporary restrictions on data center development, local property owners and taxpayers are impacted by housing bond issuances and infrastructure funding, and two new members will oversee infrastructure tax spending.
