The city also has plans for other projects:
- Poitras Park: The city will build Poitras Park on 14.2 acres it owns along Luminary Boulevard. The $12 million project is expected to be finished by the end of 2026.
- Reclaimed water storage: The city has plans for a $13.4 million water storage facility behind Lake Nona Landing. The three-acre property would have a three-million-gallon reclaimed water ground storage tank and a pump station, with room for another storage tank in the future. Construction is expected to start in May and take a year.
- Fire station: The city has plans for Fire Station 18 at the corner of Narcoossee Road and Luminary Boulevard on 2.5 acres. The project will not have a cost until after the design is completed in spring 2025. The project would take 14 months once a contractor is selected.
