Applicant presents scaled‑back Mims Crossing industrial plan; board transmits map amendment to state

Oct 6, 2026

After years of review and a major reduction from the original proposal, the applicant presented a revised industrial‑only plan for the Mims Crossing site (about 1,261 acres). Staff recommended transmittal to the Florida Department of Commerce for state review; the board voted to transmit the amendment with adoption scheduled for Dec. 15.

At a transmittal hearing the board heard a revised proposal from Tom Mims for a large‑scale map amendment south of Mulberry. The original application, submitted in 2025, sought substantially more acreage and residential units; the revised plan limits the request to 1,261 acres of industrial land use.
