Sumter County Comprehensive Plan Update

Inspire is currently updating the County’s Comprehensive Plan. As one of the fastest-growing counties in Florida, Sumter nearly tripled its population over the last 20 years. This growth is due to the development of the most successful active adult community in the United States, The Villages. Having only incrementally amended their Plan throughout the years, the Plan was overdue for a complete overhaul to ensure the future growth of the County was planned for. Phase 1 is complete, which included preparing data and analysis, facilitating three live/simulcasted in Zoom public workshops, and coordinating with local agencies. Phase 2 includes updating the goals, objectives, and policies.
