XV. REPORTS

The Lake County Trails Advisory Board has voted to support a recreational trail project connecting downtown Tavares to downtown Mount Dora and continuing to Sorrento. This project is currently planned and under review, representing an early stage in the public process. The proposed trail work would likely involve initial site clearing and grading, followed by the installation of underground utilities and stormwater management systems. Subsequent phases could include paving for the trail surface, and potentially landscaping and signage. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out now to learn more about this developing project, as opportunities for site preparation, utility work, paving, and related services may arise before final plans and bids are established.
