On June 2, 2026, Homestead startup Ready Set Fund Grow announced an Opportunity Zone fund to finance a regional network of local artificial intelligence micro-datacenters, with the goal of bringing computing power directly to South Florida municipalities.
The Homestead Flagship Infrastructure
Ready Set Fund Grow (RSFG), a subsidiary of Farrington Capital Group, is leading "The Fish Bowl" initiative under its broader "Bridge 2 Connectivity" project. The first planned site is a 20,000-square-foot plot next to the US-1 corridor in Homestead. Data Center Dynamics reported on March 6, 2026, that the glass-enclosed data center will form part of a planned technology campus serving small businesses, entrepreneurs, healthcare providers and startups across South Miami-Dade, and that lead investor Farrington Capital was seeking $1 million in additional funding to help cover build costs.
The planned Homestead facility will house a 10-rack, 80 kW edge computing micro-datacenter. RSFG says it will use self-contained, liquid-cooled, high-density cabinets for graphics processing unit (GPU) workloads. The company says processing data locally, rather than routing it to distant hyperscale hubs, lowers latency for uses such as traffic management, smart-grid operations and rendering for local creators. RSFG says the site will meet HIPAA, SOC 2 and PCI-DSS standards to serve healthcare providers, small businesses and regional software developers.
RSFG describes a four-part revenue model for the site: secure colocation in the micro-datacenter, a coworking incubator, a virtual office hub and outdoor electric vehicle charging. The company says the mix creates separate income streams while upgrading infrastructure in a federally designated Targeted Urban Area.
Sovereign Computations and Local Partnerships
Local ownership of computing infrastructure is central to the startup's model. "Bridge 2 Connectivity makes every city a node on a sovereign AI grid," Alfred Leroy Farrington II, vice president of business development and community outreach for RSFG, said in the June 2 release, adding that the grid would be owned, operated and optimized for the residents it serves.
On April 7, 2026, Remergify, Farrington Capital Group and Near Infrared Imaging announced an agreement to launch "AI Buddy," a medical diagnostic suite that pairs near-infrared imaging hardware with neural network software. The partners say these workflows can run locally inside edge micro-datacenters, which would let clinics process results quickly.
To train local entrepreneurs, RSFG announced on April 2, 2026 an e-learning hub powered by Canvas by Instructure. The learning management system offers training modules meant to help small business owners become ready for funding, and the company says it will debut with its Homestead pilot on Aug. 1, 2026.
Tokenized Funding and Capital Gains Tax Deferral
Financing micro-datacenters takes substantial upfront investment, and RSFG is meeting that need through tax-advantaged capital structures. The company is structuring its raise as a Qualified Opportunity Fund under the federal Opportunity Zone program created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
RSFG says the fund pairs Opportunity Zone tax benefits with an AI compute-as-a-service operating business. Under federal Opportunity Zone rules, investors who hold a qualifying investment for at least 10 years can exclude the appreciation on it from federal capital gains tax. On March 24, 2026, RSFG said it intends to tokenize its Qualified Opportunity Fund through a Regulation D, Rule 506(c) offering limited to accredited investors whose status has been checked. The company said it was not soliciting funds and would issue a private placement memorandum before any offering. Nothing here is investment advice; owners should consult a tax adviser.
Farrington Capital Group named Stuart Fine, founder of the technology marketplace Remergify, acting chief executive officer of RSFG in March 2026 to oversee the buildout. Remergify manages the project with Farrington Capital Group. On June 2, 2026, Remergify signed a letter of intent to sell its Wipeboard software platform to Utilicraft Aerospace Industries, and said it retains its rights in Ready Set Fund Grow.
The South Florida Data Center Expansion
The Homestead project is part of a wider build-out of digital infrastructure across South Florida. Municipalities in the region are reviewing proposals for computing facilities, which can bring construction work, tax base and local capacity for businesses that need servers close to home.
In Miami-Dade, Metrobloks is building MIA-A1 at 500 NW 137th Avenue, with a planned launch in the fourth quarter of 2026, the Miami Herald and Compute Atlas reported. More local capacity gives owners and operators additional places to house servers near their users.
RSFG and Remergify are taking their municipal-first strategy nationwide. The partners announced a national municipal tour on May 21, 2026 to present their Opportunity Zone framework to economic development departments. They say local public-private partnerships let cities secure their own computing capacity and hold technology assets without relying on federal taxpayer funding.
