City Council · 2026-06-16 · meeting
The City Council of Ocala met to discuss various upcoming projects and ongoing matters. Several potential business opportunities were identified, including a new community center planned near SE 17th Street and SE 17th Avenue, which could involve site preparation, concrete, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work. The council is also reviewing plans for a new turn lane at 7th and 32nd Streets, potentially creating work for road construction and paving companies. Additionally, a mixed-use development is planned near SW 27th Avenue and SW 38th Street, and another near SE 17th Street and SE 36th Avenue, which could involve a wide range of trades and suppliers. A rezoning proposal for property at 619 SE 17th Street could also lead to work for civil engineers, surveyors, and construction crews.
