This item concerns a proposed amendment to land use policy in Sumter County. The land in question is located outside the Urban Development Area (UDA) and does not have central water and sewer service.

The work would likely involve site preparation, utility connections, road construction, home building, and landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to understand the project details as early planning stages are underway.
