A welcoming Central Florida community where people, business and agriculture come together to grow and prosper.

Clear Springs sits on 18,000 acres of rolling land located midway between Tampa and Orlando.  Founded as a community by Stanford N. Phelps--Wall Street veteran, philanthropist and graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy, Yale University and Harvard Business School -- Clear Springs aims to take a naturally beautiful path of rural land, ideally located, and create a place to work and live. A place where agriculture, business and residential areas combine seamlessly to form a unique, eco-friendly community in one of the nation’s most affordable and livable areas.  

Endless possibilities
The phrase succinctly captures the Clear Springs vision as a place for companies to dream and build, a place for institutions of higher education to take root, and a naturally beautiful environment where people enjoy living.  Residential areas of Clear Springs will revolve around village living—villages anchored by a classic town center where shops, restaurants and services are easily accessible by foot.  It is envisioned as a place that brings people together and encourages walking and enjoying the outdoors.  Surrounding the planned residential areas are over 1,100 acres of natural lakes, both beautiful and functional in serving as protection and home to wildlife such as bass, bluegills and the famous Florida blue heron.

The transformation of Clear Springs’ 18,000 acres from its historical mining roots is fully underway.  It is living proof that land—once marked by mining operations—can be smartly reclaimed using world-class resources and returned to near its original pristine condition. Given its physical location midway between two booming metropolitan areas, easy access to transportation and a position squarely in the heart of Central Florida’s High Tech Corridor, Clear Springs offers endless possibilities to companies looking to relocate, expand or add operations:

• High technology companies will find skilled workers, well-developed links to local universities and colleges, and readily available training programs to prepare a specialized workforce
• Manufacturers will find the ideal mix of livability and affordability for employees, many available Florida tax benefits, and easy access to the domestic and international markets
• Agribusiness initiatives include a brand new state-of-the-art produce Distribution Center with easy in-and-out transportation, collaborative marketing and private labeling initiatives, and local universities and colleges with agricultural units eager to become involved
• Specialty manufacturers such as pharmaceutical companies will find protected and unpopulated areas as prime locations for specialized manufacturing and research operations
• Service companies will find an educated and available work force and a well developed infrastructure for support of growing service-oriented firms
• Institutions of higher education will find world-class state universities and colleges in close proximity, providing the opportunity for collaborative research and development in many areas including life sciences, biotechnology, agribusiness, aviation and information technology.
