The county is seeking bids for the land on Pleasant Hill Road in Kissimmee, known as the Mac Overstreet Site. The minimum bid for the site would be $85,000 per acre, or at least $26.27 million.

The Mac Overstreet Site is near the Valencia College Poinciana campus and has 209 upland acres, with the rest as wetlands. The bid documents from the county say it wants to draw a buyer from the “green energy technology sector” tied to “manufacturing, R&D, office and auxiliary uses in addition to creating high-wage green technology jobs.”
