It consists of more than 2,700 acres in Southwest Palm Bay.

There are numerous property owners.  The area has also become a source of concern due to illegal activity over the years.

Judith Monkowski, a longtime Palm Bay resident said, “It would be good if they put more residential homes there, and maybe an industrial park and cameras on all the entrances.”
