Site work for a multi-residential development in Ocala, Florida. Conceptual plans call for site work for a multi-residential development.

The City of Ocala ("City"), through this Invitation to Negotiate ("ITN") GRM/250581, seeks proposals from interested and qualified developers, builders, partnerships and/or agencies interested in constructing a residential development on the subject parcels to include a mix of single-family residential homes and an open space area. The City's intent is to use the property for the creation of affordable housing while maintaining quality construction and site design. The ITN will be awarded to a single developer, who will be solely responsible for completing the entire project. The recent infusion of public and private investment, an improving economy, and the implementation of several innovative renovation grants has spurred additional private interest and investment in redevelopment aimed at providing new opportunities for Ocala. In addition to greatly enhancing the quality of life for its residents, these progressive and highly competitive steps have had a profound effect on making Ocala a "destination" location. The city now offers robust, regular entertainment, numerous cultural, retail and restaurant offerings that now consistently attract a discretionary spending draw from a surrounding 75-mile radius. Since 1998, the City has made significant investments in the development of a series of master and sub-area plans for its Community Redevelopment Areas (CRA's), parks systems and cultural arts. To implement those plans, the City has purposely developed several economic development tools and policies to accelerate the growth and sustainability of the City.
