Wildwood Comprehensive Plan Update

The Inspire team updated the City’s Comprehensive Plan to address changes in local conditions since the last update and to establish a new vision for future growth. The City has experienced tremendous growth as a result of the expansion of The Villages into the City limits. The Villages is the largest retirement community in the world and projects the addition of 60,000 dwelling units in Wildwood in the next 30 years. Inspire staff prepared population and housing projections as the projections developed by the State were substantially lower than expected. Inspire utilized Social Pinpoint (web-based engagement tool) in conjunction with virtual and in-person community meetings to obtain public input.
