A company is looking to rezone 434 acres in rural Osceola, Florida, for a data center development.
First reported by Growth Spotter, the site is located on the US 441 north of Florida's Turnpike interchange with State Road 60.
The company seeking to rezone the land is "US Development," and has a pre-application meeting with the county on October 15 to discuss rezoning the land from agricultural to industrial.
More than 100 acres of the site have already been zoned for future industrial use, previously being rezoned for a warehouse.
The land in question is currently owned by Yeehaw Ranch LLC and Patricia and Clyde Luke.
Based on current site plans from engineering, planning, and design consultant Kimley Horn, the developer is looking to build nine data centers, each with three stories and spanning 675,000 sq ft (62,710 sqm). In total, this would make the campus have more than seven million sq ft of data center space.
The campus plan also includes dedicating 15 acres to an electrical substation and water treatment center. Florida Power & Light would be the electrical provider; Toho Water Authority the water provider on the plan; and the fiber network would be serviced by AT&T, Century Link, and Lumen.
No end-user has been named.
Osceola County is located in the central region of Florida, around 50 miles south of Orlando.
Much of Florida's data center market is centered around Tampa, Miami, Orlando, and Jacksonville. Operators in the state include EdgeConnex, 365 Data Centers, and RadiusDC.
