“I’ve been around town long enough to remember the original building that was there, and what an attraction it was in the 50s and 60s,” Commissioner Robert Stuart said at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the juice stand. “Now we get the chance to kind of use that as a catalyst to re-introduce the neighborhood.”
Dr. Phillips Charities has led the development of the 202-acre site known as the Packing District. News 6 has followed the progress since the project was announced in 2018.
Since then, The Cannery at the Packing District, an apartment complex, has been built, a new YMCA has opened and there are more plans in the works for a food hall and Publix supermarket.
Other highlights planned for the Packing District include a regional park, trails and 4 Roots Farm and Agriculture Center.
