Provider notes
Community. Dozens of residents picketed outside City Hall and packed the 2026-09-17 Fort Pierce Planning Board meeting on 'Project Neptune'. The board declined to vote and Willow Lakes LLC withdrew its rezoning application. Its attorney indicated it would return once the City Commission decides data-center policy, so the status is not changed here.
What the source record says
Willow Lakes LLC filed a rezoning application in June 2026 to convert 174 of a 203-acre parcel at West Midway Road and I-95 from its current designation to light industrial for a data center (the remaining 26 acres would go general commercial for retail/hotel/gas station uses). The application states intent to bring in an unnamed partner company to develop and operate the facility; it cites existing FPL transmission lines crossing the site and an existing man-made lake floated as a potential closed-loop cooling source. Scheduled before the St. Lucie Planning and Zoning Board on September 17, 2026 as of the article date. The parcel was previously entitled for the since-abandoned Koa Bay Surf Park. No capacity, investment, or job figures were stated in the source. Coordinates corrected 2026-09-10: an earlier draft shared a pin with sentinel-grove-technology-park-fort-pierce-fl that sat about 10 km from this parcel. This pin is the West Midway Road / I-95 crossing the source names, derived from OpenStreetMap geometry (Midway Road runs east-west at latitude 27.3742 and I-95 crosses it at longitude -80.4104); precision is 'approximate' because no parcel or house number was published. Distinct from atlas-compute-ai-data-center-campus-fort-pierce-fl, which lies roughly 8 km northeast: Atlas Compute announced land and utilities already secured in November 2025, whereas this application states the applicant has yet to name or agree terms with a partner company as of August 2026, and this parcel was previously entitled for the abandoned Koa Bay Surf Park rather than sited in Midway Industrial Park.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Sources and attribution
These sources are listed for the whole row. Unless a figure links to its own source, the provider does not mark which one gave it, so a figure may not appear in every source.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
