1,317-Acre East Palatka Site Targeted for Data Center Development
A 1,317-acre parcel in East Palatka is being considered for data center development, responding to growing demand in Northeast Florida. Key features include proximity to power sources, fiber optic lines, and infrastructure support, indicating significant investment potential in the region.

A 1,317-acre site located at 135 Gilbert Road in East Palatka is available for data center development, with approximately 525 acres deemed suitable for construction. The property offers critical access via Yelvington Road, nearby fiber optic connectivity, and substantial power availability, with Florida Power & Light indicating at least 400 megawatts can be accessed.
Studies suggest potential grid support could reach 1.4 gigawatts with upgrades. The First Coast already hosts a data center presence, particularly in Jacksonville, and ongoing projects like DC BLOX's undersea cable project in Palm Coast enhance future capacity. However, concerns regarding environmental impacts and infrastructure strain persist.
