Land Use |
The site is currently vacant land within The Poinciana Park Nodal Area (Poinciana Park), as defined by NHSFF, a 115 acre section of the 79th Street Target Market Area. Poinciana Park is bounded by NW 79th Street to the north, NW 22nd Avenue to the east. The Florida East Coast Railroad tracks form the southern boundary, while NW 27th Avenue forms the western boundary. Poinciana Park is characterized mostly by residential and industrial uses, as well as a large amount of vacant land. It is a nodal area that is the home to the newly developed North Park at Scott Carver, a master planned community apartment community. According to 2011 data from the Census Center for Economic Studies, approximately 50 percent of private-sector employees who work within the Poinciana Park area primarily work in the Manufacturing sector. LEASA Industries Co., Inc., a 19,000 square foot food manufacturing plant within the nodal area employs approximately 50 persons. |

The Urban Brightfields Initiative plans to install photovoltaic arrays (brightfields), bringing pollution free solar energy to the site and green jobs to the local community. Brightfields offer an opportunity to link solar energy to brownfields redevelopment and thereby transforming community hazards and eyesores into productive green ventures. |
