    Gilbert Road assemblage is not a housing approval

    Large-tract marketing and data-center chatter are not a residential PUD. This tracker will only change the status if a county application lands.

    Alford Farms still in permit review, not sales

    Spring 2026 file reads still show SJRWMD and engineering work as the live step. Rezoning from August 2024 is the last major political milestone. No confirmed plat recording or model-home opening.

    Second Horton site remains unconfirmed in county ordinances

    The 189-home East River Road report is still on the watch list. We have not matched it to a published PUD case number. That is the whole update: absence of a filing is itself information.
