3. ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS

Planning and Development Commission · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

Citrus County is exploring future land use possibilities around three planned interchanges for the Suncoast Parkway 2 Extension. The county is using scenario planning to consider different development futures, including 'Trend,' 'Focused Growth,' and 'Resilient Citrus County.' These scenarios examine potential population, dwelling unit, and job growth by 2050, with the 'Resilient Citrus County' scenario suggesting significant increases in commercial and light industrial development, including office and industrial parks. This planning process is currently under review by the Planning and Development Commission. If adopted, these scenarios could lead to future site clearing, grading, utility work, paving, and construction of commercial and residential buildings. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand potential project scopes and timelines as these scenarios move through the planning stages.
