Florida Surf Park Project Abandoned for Data Center Development
A surf park project in Fort Pierce is being reconsidered for a data center and retail space, as outlined in a rezoning application from June 2026. The original plan included residential and commercial elements but faced financial and logistical challenges.

A surf park and housing project approved in 2020 near Fort Pierce will be abandoned for a proposed data center and commercial retail area. The 200-acre site, located at the northwest corner of Interstate 95 and Midway Road, is set to be re-zoned into 26 acres of general commercial space and 174 acres of light industrial space.
The general commercial zone may host a hotel, gas station, and restaurants, while the light industrial zone is slated for the data center. The project's original surf park design was hindered by financial constraints and the presence of electrical transmission lines. The transition to a data center is viewed as a more viable option given the site's characteristics.
