The City of Mount Dora is seeking to enhance a key entrance corridor with the Native Tree Entrance Planting project. This project proposes to add six native trees, including Nuttall Oaks, Bracken Brown Magnolias, and Redbuds, at the gateway entrance near Donnelly Street. The project is currently under review as a grant application to the Florida League of Mayors for up to $2,500. If awarded, the project is expected to take approximately 8 to 12 months to complete. Work would involve site preparation for planting, the purchase and installation of the trees according to IFAS and ISA standards, and potentially ongoing maintenance. Contractors specializing in landscaping, tree installation, and site preparation may find opportunities as this project moves forward. Early engagement could be beneficial as plans are finalized.
