The park would be developed south of Leesburg, FL, 50 miles northwest of Downtown Orlando and three miles south of the 750-acre Christopher C. Ford Commerce Park near Groveland, FL in south Lake County.

The office park would complement the Groveland area industrial park, Lake County planners say. The industrial park, almost built out, houses distribution centers for Circuit City, Home Depot, Dominos, Marriott International Inc. and other national tenants.

Lake staffers have approved the concept which still needs separate green lights from county commissioners, Florida Department of Community Affairs, Florida Department of Transportation, the East Central Regional Planning Commission, St. Johns River Water Management District and the Florida Department of Environtment Protection. Those approvals are expected to take two years before construction can start, Lake staffers tell GlobeSt.com.
