Osceola County, Florida – NeoCity Way – the central transportation corridor for Osceola County’s emerging technology hub for the creation of high-paying jobs and economic diversification – opened Wednesday, May 19, 2021.
The 2.1-mile long roadway opens up NeoCity to future development. The new road, which was partially financed with a $5.8 million grant from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, provides NeoCity with a half-moon shaped main thoroughfare linking the technology hub to U.S. Highway 192 at Denn John Lane at its northern terminus, and south to U.S. 192 to Bill Beck Boulevard.
The new roadway, which includes a 1,600-foot spur called Ethos Park Drive, features two lanes of traffic with a divided and landscaped median, a grade-separated 12-foot Veloway specifically dedicated to bicyclists and rollerbladers, and two 10-foot wide sidewalks on each side of the road. In addition to the state economic development grant, local funds were used to complete construction of the $11.3 million project, which broke ground about two years ago.
