Citrus County is planning to add approximately 1,404 acres of industrial land to support future economic growth, particularly around new interchanges for the Suncoast Parkway Extension. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to leverage the parkway for economic development and attract businesses. The county encourages the development of industrial parks and requires new industrial projects to connect to central water and sewer facilities. This plan is currently under review, indicating an early stage in the development process. The project anticipates significant infrastructure needs, including site clearing, grading, and the installation of central water and sewer systems. Future phases may involve road construction, utility connections, and the development of industrial buildings. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider engaging with county planning officials and potential developers early to understand project timelines and requirements. Early involvement can provide a competitive advantage as site plans, bids, and permits are established.
