We, the undersigned residents of Martin County and surrounding South Florida communities, urgently oppose the approval of the Tesoro Groves Planned Unit Development (PUD) ordinance scheduled for final vote on April 30, 2026 before the Village of Indiantown Village Council.

This vote would rezone 5,722 acres of land recently annexed by the Village of Indiantown — formerly held by Florida Power & Light — opening the door to hyperscale data center development on a scale that threatens the water supply, environment, and quality of life of every resident who depends on the Floridan Aquifer.

We are demanding the Village Council table this vote for the following reasons:

Florida's new data center protection legislation, SB 484, is awaiting Governor DeSantis' signature and takes effect July 1, 2026. That law protects our water supply, prevents electric costs from being shifted to consumers, and preserves local government authority over data center development. Projects approved before July 1 will likely receive none of those protections. This vote is being rushed through before the Governor's own safeguards become law.

The Floridan Aquifer supplies drinking water and supports agriculture for millions of South Florida residents. No independent water impact study has been completed. No binding legal conditions protecting our water supply have been established. We are being asked to approve industrial-scale development on 5,722 acres before a single independent study has been done.

This annexation of FPL land and its rapid rezoning for industrial development affects far more than Indiantown. Martin County farmers, well owners, families, and communities across the region depend on the same water supply. This is not just Indiantown's fight. It is all of ours.

We are asking the Village Council to do one thing: wait until July 1, 2026 so that Florida's own data center protections apply to this decision. If this development truly serves the community, it will still do so on July 2nd.

Sign if you believe our water supply, our farmland, and our community are worth protecting.
