Lake Wales Approves CDD for 1,020-Unit Single-Family Development
What happened
Lake Wales city commissioners approved the Ridgecrest Community Development District (CDD) ordinance on August 7, 2024, following a petition by Brent Elliott. The CDD covers a 312.7-acre unimproved site east of US Highway 27 and will manage and finance basic services for a planned 1,020-unit single-family development project.

Why it matters
The approval allows the planned development to move forward. The developer will construct roads, water, and wastewater improvements at their own expense, which will then be dedicated to Lake Wales for operation and maintenance, creating a long-term fiscal impact.
