Turkey Creek Preserve LLC (“TCP”), owner of approximately 1200 acres of land in east Hillsborough County zoned for a renewable energy park, has announced that it has terminated the contract to sell the property to Imperium Development, Inc.

Based on the property’s unique zoning and location, which includes immediate access to electrical transmission lines subject to completion of an interconnection study, water and rail, TCP has concluded that a renewable energy industrial park is indeed economically viable. Consequently, TCP currently is in the process of evaluating and interviewing consultants and developers with experience in the various components of renewable energy with the goal of assembling a team that will allow it to move forward with the project. TCP is committed to extensive due diligence in the vetting of potential developers in order to ensure the project’s viability and success.

TCP spokesmen said, “We have received tremendous inquiries from global firms that are interested in pursuing the development of this property. We remain committed to the development of a multifaceted renewable energy park and agriplex. Additionally, we are continuing to work with the state, county, and neighborhood to bring a state-of-the-art renewable energy park forward that in addition to bringing much needed jobs to our county, will also be the first of its kind in the United States. Our vision has and remains committed to the development concept which includes waste to energy, solar, hydroponics, and aquaculture.”

About the Property:

The 1200-acre property is located in Hillsborough County approximately 15 miles east of Tampa, Florida. The land is zoned as a Planned Development for use as an Energy Industrial Park, which includes alternative energy, resource recovery, hydroponics, aquaculture, industrial, processing, manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, educational/institutional, research, ancillary retail/commercial and office uses, and utility uses. The property owner invested significant resources to reclaim the land, previously a phosphate mine, in order to make it ready for development. Attributes of the property include location outside hurricane evacuation zones, major highway and truck route access, potential access to electrical transmission lines, proximity to the Valrico Advanced Wastewater Treatment facility and rail access, all of which render the property highly suitable for a renewable energy park.
