Unlocking Florida's Land For Jobs, Housing and Opportunity
A Smarter Approach to Phosphate Land Use in Florida
Across Florida, vast areas of land once used for phosphate mining now sit unused—not because they lack value, but because outdated rules and perceptions block their path forward. These lands could be doing much more: fueling rural revitalization, advancing sustainability, and supporting new infrastructure, housing, and conservation projects. Florida is at a turning point. With innovation and clear guidance, we can put this land to work again—for people, the planet, and future prosperity
An Innovative Approach to Land Reuse
Rethink What's Possible
With the right tools and transparency, formerly mined phosphate lands can be responsibly repurposed—providing a model for sustainable redevelopment across the country.
Drive Rural Growth
Many of these sites are in rural areas where new jobs, homes, and services are urgently needed. Redeveloping phosphate lands helps bridge Florida’s urban-rural economic divide.
Champion Smart, Sustainable Use
Reusing these lands reduces pressure on undeveloped natural areas, supports environmental restoration, and aligns with broader goals for smart growth and land conservation.
Invest In What Florida Already Has
Rather than clearing new land, let’s reimagine what’s already here—revitalizing existing properties with modern infrastructure and community vision.
100,000+ Acres of Potential
Promotes Agricultural & Environmental reuse
Advances Circular Land Use Principles
Supports Workforce Housing & Local Development
Sparks Investment in Underserved Areas
Innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about rethinking how we use our resources.
Florida’s former phosphate lands are a powerful example of untapped opportunity.
By removing barriers and embracing thoughtful reuse, we can unlock new economic, environmental, and community benefits for generations to come.
