What happened
Bravo Land Group is seeking changes to the development plan for a roughly 350-acre property near Crystal River. The developer's current proposal calls for 1,466 residential units, including 1,138 single-family homes and 328 townhomes. The Citrus County Planning Commission recommended denial of the request, citing concerns about traffic, wetlands, and infrastructure. Crystal River officials are seeking independent legal advice because their current law firm has a conflict of interest involving the Betz Farm property.
