Lakewood Ranch - More New Homes

As Sarasota county "sits and studies" things, Manatee County plans to once again expand its tax base.

Schroeder-Manatee Ranch is looking past the current soft housing market and proposing two massive developments that could bring more than 8,000 new homes to Lakewood Ranch.
Both developments are slated for open pastoral northeast of the intersection of Lakewood Ranch Boulevard and State Road 70, near the stalled hockey arena project.

The 8,100 new homes would add to the roughly 6,000 already built in Lakewood Ranch, and were part of the Ranch's original master plan that extends over 30 years and could lead to development of 7,000 acres.
