Hudson Florida Growth
Over the years we certainly have had a lot of rumors about future development in Pasco County Florida. From a Nascar track, to a Busch Gardens, ad nauseum
And this could be only the latest Busy Betty chatter at the water cooler, yet it is more plausible, while being more unbelievable, due to its specifics. What in the heck am I going on about? The 'former Publix shopping plaza' on US-19 @ SR-52.
I, like many wondered what would happen to the strip mall when its Anchor relocated. Especially since Stevens Furniture already moved directly across the street. According to my source (gossiper who has 'connections in the county) his business is moving next month too. RadioShack has not renewed its lease (allegedly), and TJ Maxx has announced it is relocating as well (allegedly). That leaves just a couple of stragglers, which have zero chance of supporting the costs of the strip mall. However (allegedly) this is all according to plans of the Strip Malls owner.
Allegedly The owner already has a buyer, who has a buyer, but only if the strip mall is empty. What in the world would a developer want with an empty Strip Mall? Allegedly, the land it sits on. More importantly, the land behind it, that goes all the way to the Gulf. See where this is going?
Once again, ALLEGEDLY the developer has approval with the county and state to level the mall, and not only build High rise Condos (no surprise in Florida) but to also dredge deep water canals & a much needed marina. While that sounds like a fantastic idea, it is also the plans Achilles Heel. I see nothing but an uphill battle (near vertical) with the ENVIRONMENTALISTS. Afterall we are talking about creating canals/marina. Not developing a naturally occurring area. While Condos in Florida go without saying, dredging and developing coastline just does not sound feasible in my humble opinion. Time will tell, beginning with the strip mall in the coming New Year
the strip mall i am talking about is on the Northwest (upperleft) corner of the intersection of US-19 @ SR-52.
