The City of Tavares is reviewing plans for economic development infrastructure improvements along the abandoned rail bed corridor. This project is currently under review by the City Council. The scope of work is expected to involve site clearing and grading, followed by underground utility work and paving. Future phases may include landscaping and other related construction activities. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's direction before site plans, bids, and permits are finalized. Early involvement can provide a competitive advantage as the project progresses through its planning stages.
