The Christopher C. Ford Commerce Park is strategically located on U.S. Highway 27 at the crossroads of State Road 19 and the Florida Turnpike. The County purchased the land for the industrial park in the 1980s following catastrophic freezes, which virtually wiped out the citrus crops. The intent of the County land purchase was to develop an industrial park which would enable Lake County to diversify the economy and create quality jobs. More than 700 acres have been sold in the park. Companies such as Circuit City Stores Inc., Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Carroll Fulmer Trucking, Domino’s Pizza, Maritec Industries, and Metals, USA have realized the benefits of the strategic location of the Park.
All parcels in the industiral park have been purchased.
