Powell Studio Architecture has adjusted its original conceptual design from 2023 to go from 76 standard boat slips and eight jet ski slips to 28 boat slips, eight wake/ski boat slips and eight jet ski slips on Lake Minneola. The pier has been closed since 2022 due to structural issues.

The site also will feature the Meet Us in the Middle Plaza gathering area — the mid-point of the Florida Coast-to-Coast Connector trail — as well as a fishing pier, amphitheater-style greenspace and a restroom.
