The Board of County Commissioners, Polk County, has approved a small-scale comprehensive plan map amendment for a property located at Fort Groves. This amendment changes the land use designation from Phosphate Mining (PM) to Agricultural/Rural Residential (A/RR). This approval means the property is now planned for agricultural and rural residential uses. The project is in the final approval stage. This change will likely lead to future development, including site preparation, grading, utility work, and construction of residential and agricultural structures. Contractors specializing in site work, general construction, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and landscaping may find opportunities as the property transitions to its new designated use. Early engagement with the property owner or developer is advised before specific site plans, bids, and permits are finalized.
