A rezoning application is under review for approximately 70.59 acres located in Lecanto, Florida.

Site preparation will include clearing, grubbing, excavation, rough grading, sub-base and base preparation, and final grading. Restoration and landscaping will follow excavation. This project presents opportunities for contractors specializing in site preparation, excavation, grading, erosion control, and landscaping. Early engagement is advised as plans and permits are still being processed.
