Pensacola Technology Park
A technology park is being developed on a 9.2-acre tract of public land located between the Pensacola Civic Center and the Aragon neighborhood. Initially proposed by the Pensacola Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, the completed park is expected to host between 300,000-500,000 square feet of office space. The chamber hopes this will attract IT firms and generate as many as 1,000 high-paying jobs for the area.
The land for the park — bordered by Chase Street/W. D. Childers Plaza, 9th Avenue, Florida Blanca Street and a service road abutting the Aragon neighborhood — is owned by the City of Pensacola (1.7 acres) and Escambia County (7.5 acres) and has been used for overflow parking during Civic Center events.
