4. An Ordinance of the City of Leesburg, Florida, annexing certain real
The City of Leesburg has adopted an ordinance to annex approximately 7.53 acres of land located west of U.S. Highway 27 and south of the Florida Turnpike. This property is planned for future development as a mixed-use project, including retail, restaurant, and medical office spaces, totaling around 20,000 square feet. The project's future land use designation will change from Lake County Urban Low Density to City General Commercial, and its zoning will change from Lake County Agriculture to a Small Planned Unit Development (SPUD). The development will include architectural requirements, a maximum building height of two stories, dark sky lighting, 35% open space, and a 25-foot landscaped buffer. The developer will also be responsible for necessary expansions or upgrades to U.S. Highway 27 access points as identified by Lake County. This annexation and rezoning have been approved, marking an early stage for potential development. The project will likely involve site clearing and grading, underground utility work, road and driveway construction for a boulevard-style entrance, vertical framing for commercial buildings, and interior finish trades, followed by final landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to the applicant, Mike Rankin of Land Planning Group, to explore opportunities before detailed site plans, bids, and permits are finalized.

4. An Ordinance of the City of Leesburg, Florida, annexing certain real
A project is under review that involves annexing approximately 118 acres into the City of Leesburg, with a total of about 445 acres being considered for a comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning. The property is located south of County Road 48, east of the Sumter County line, and north of Shady Grove Road. The proposal is to change the land use from Lake County Rural and City Neighborhood Mixed Use to City Estate, and rezone from Lake County Agriculture and City R-1A Single Family Residential to a City Planned Unit Development (PUD). The proposed development includes 523 detached single-family homes. This item is currently under review, with a motion to transmit it for further review having been adopted. The project would involve site clearing and grading, underground utility work for water and wastewater connections, road and driveway construction including turn lanes and acceleration/deceleration lanes, potential right-of-way acquisition, stormwater management systems, vertical framing and structure for homes, and final landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, heavy civil, utility, concrete, paving, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and landscaping could find opportunities. Reaching out early before final site plans, bids, and permits are settled may offer a competitive advantage.

6. An Ordinance of the City of Leesburg, Florida, changing the zoning on
A rezoning proposal is under review by the City of Leesburg for a large property known as Merritt Ranch.

A rezoning application has been approved for a property located south of E North Boulevard, east of E Dixie Avenue, and north of E Main Street.

[City Hall, 501 W Meadow Street, Leesburg, FL (meeting location; not a project site)] This document is a public record of two City of Leesburg budget workshop meetings (FY 2026-27), not a record of a specific development project. The first meeting (Workshop #3) covered water, wastewater, solid waste, stormwater, pension funds, health insurance, workers' compensation, and fleet budgets. The second meeting (Workshop #4) was a joint workshop with the Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs) covering the Greater Leesburg CRA, Carver Heights/Montclair Area CRA, and U.S. Highway 441/27 CRA budgets. The document contains no specific project address, parcel, size, zoning change, applicant, case number, or decision. It is a procedural and administrative record of budget discussions. Key facts include proposed 3% rate increases for water, wastewater, and solid waste for FY27; a solid waste monthly rate of $20.61; a $600,000 estimated cost for the Lake Hollywood stormwater project; a $1.2 million internal loan for the Carver Heights Resource Center; a $600,000 allocation for the Carver Heights Home Grant Program; and a $50,000 allocation from the Highway 441 CRA for grants. Public comment sentiment includes Commissioner Sokol's concerns about disparities on the east side and a desire for a grant program for east side property owners, Commissioner Ponder's concerns about CRA spending priorities and the need to update the CRA plan, and Commissioner Connell's request to discontinue a library magazine subscription.

b. Request for Proposal ( RFP) 26-008-HG, Palmetto Pickleball Courts – Design
The City of Leesburg is planning a new project called Palmetto Pickleball Courts. This project is a Design Build request for proposal, meaning the selected contractor will be responsible for both the design and construction of the courts. The project is currently in the planning stage, indicated by the Request for Proposal (RFP) process. This early phase means there is an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage before final plans and bids are set. The work will likely involve site preparation, grading, concrete work for courts, fencing, lighting, and potentially related amenities. Businesses involved in site work, concrete, electrical, fencing, and general construction could find opportunities. Engaging now allows businesses to understand the project scope and potentially influence the process before formal bidding begins.
