A plan to build a 1,300-acre data center in Fort Meade, Florida, has gotten the go-ahead from local officials.

Fort Meade City commissioners voted unanimously in favor of a development agreement that stipulates commitments made between itself and developer Stonebridge, operating through Fort Meade DC, LLC.

Stonebridge will need to construct certain “publicly necessary water and wastewater improvements related to development of the property,” and the City of Fort Meade will “reserve water and wastewater capacity” for the data center, among other commitments.

But the Southwest Florida Water Management District will need to give permission for the city to supply the data center with water before the project can proceed.

The land parcel, located west of Highway 98, was rezoned for industrial use last June, and a master development plan for the campus has already been approved.

“The proposed Development Agreement is not a request for new development entitlements, but rather implements and operationalizes the previously approved Future Land Use and PUD zoning approvals,” reads a staff memorandum about the agreement.

The data center buildings are set to span 4.4 million sqm (47.36 million sq ft), with each building limited to a maximum of three stories and sixty feet.

Fort Meade is located in Polk County, central Florida. It is located between the cities of Tampa and Orlando.
