A new K-8 charter school is planned for development at the southeast corner of West Lester Road and Plymouth Sorrento Road in Apopka, Florida. The project includes a 55,653 square foot school building, associated parking, stormwater management systems, and utility infrastructure, with an additional 1.58 acres designated for future development. The site is currently vacant or agricultural land and will be rezoned to a Planned Development/Community Commercial designation. This project is currently under review by the City of Apopka and Orange County. The development will involve site clearing and grading, underground utility work, paving for access roads and parking lots, building construction, and final landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project scope and potential opportunities before final plans and bids are established.
