The Villages has filed paperwork to create a community development district in Leesburg.
The new district, to be known as Community Development District 14, will include thousands of new homes to be constructed in Leesburg.
The Villages closed on the long-awaited land deal with the City of Leesburg in 2018 to purchase 1,127 acres of land for about $7.54 million – an area known as the Villages of West Lake that will include about 2,800 homes.
Community Development District 11 oversees maintenance of common infrastructure in The Villages section in Fruitland Park, which is also located in Lake County.
