Fort Meade Residents Oppose 4.4 Million Sq. Ft. Data Center Proposal
Residents in Fort Meade, FL, are mobilizing against the proposed Stonebridge Project, a 4.4 million sq. ft. data center. The initiative raises significant concerns regarding environmental impacts and community quality of life.

The proposed Stonebridge Project in Fort Meade, covering 1,300 acres, has sparked opposition among local residents. A public hearing is scheduled for April 7, 2026, at 5:30 PM, where community members can express their concerns.
Key issues include potential increases in utility costs, strain on local water resources, and threats to air quality from diesel generators. Residents fear that industrial operations will disrupt the small-town atmosphere through noise and light pollution.
The Watchdogs of Fort Meade plan a Family Fun Night & Data Center Info Event on April 10 to further engage the community. The outcome of this project could set a precedent for future developments in the area.
