Designed to create immediate visibility and activation while recruiting wellness businesses, recreation operators, healthcare partners, investors, and hospitality groups.
RV Wellness Resort Waterfront
Redevelopment and repositioning of the former Okeechobee Waterway RV Resort & Marina property as part of a larger wellness, recreation, tourism, and waterfront redevelopment strategy.

Envisioned as a signature implementation opportunity that may serve as a national model for rural waterfront wellness and recreation redevelopment.
