Citrus County is considering new development strategies for its interchange areas, focusing on compact growth. This includes potentially establishing design standards and requiring better circulation between properties. The county may also offer density bonuses to developers to encourage building within these designated zones. To fund improvements, a Community Development District or Business Improvement District could be created, with costs covered by special assessments on properties within the district. This initiative is currently under review, with potential land use amendments and rezoning processes to follow. The project scope could involve site clearing, grading, utility work, paving, and construction of new structures. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand future needs and potential opportunities as plans develop.
