Florida City is closer to gaining new housing units. During the June 28 meeting, the Commission approved a resolution that will allow the final plat of Sebastian Place. This is a replat of eight parcels located at the northwest corner of the intersection of East Palm Drive/Southwest 344th Street and Northeast Sixth Avenue/Southwest 172nd Avenue.
It is expected that the project will bring 108 new townhomes to the community. “This will mean more housing, but it will be market rate housing, not affordable housing,” said Jon Ward, executive director of the CRA.
