We told you December 6th The Packing District was coming to College Park. Named after the some of the citrus packing houses demolished to make way for it, The Packing District will be built on 202 acres at the corner of Princeton Street and Orange Blossom Trail. Construction begins in 2018.
City of Orlando would pay Dr Phillips Inc $30 million to make improvements on and around the 202 acres. However, it will take 25 years to earn a measly $121 million back in taxes from the deal. Read more Here and Here.
