Renovation of a municipal facility in Ocala, Florida. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

After the Sheriff’s review of demographics, population growth, and utilization of services, it has been requested that a new district office be constructed in NW Marion County. This district office would serve Reddick, Blitchton and Morriston communities. Furthermore, this office would aid in the expanding equine tourism community since the opening of the World Equestrian Center, the popular Horse Shows in the Sun (HITS), as well as the expanding adult communities on HWY 27. These communities are currently serviced from the North Multi District (NMD) Office along with another district’s communities. Placing the deputies and support staff directly in the communities they serve will aid in public service. This will also allow the NMD the room needed for staff as the need has increased since its original opening. As of February 28, 2025, this project is included in the Marion County Fiscal Year 2025-2029 CIP and funding is allotted for FY 2027 and FY 2028. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
