  A land swap could move Groveland's downtown Carabao Commons project to Sampey Road

  Avalon Park Group has pitched Groveland a trade: swap its downtown Carabao Commons project for a 34-acre development on Sampey Road built around an "Academic Village" concept with healthcare facilities and a hotel. The city posted the proposal on August 18. It is a proposal only — no council vote has happened — but it would redraw the long-discussed plan for downtown Groveland.

  S.R. 50 realignment around downtown Groveland set to begin this fall

  FDOT's $26.8 million realignment of State Road 50 — the main east-west corridor for South Lake commuters between Clermont and Leesburg-bound routes — starts construction in fall 2026, building a new 2.1-mile four-lane roadway north of downtown Groveland from Villa City Road to Second Avenue. The existing one-way pairs on W. Broad and W. Orange streets convert to city streets, rerouting heavy truck traffic out of downtown. Once work begins, expect nighttime single-lane closures on S.R. 50 and S.R. 19, roughly 7 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.; estimated completion is summer 2028.
