On March 23, the Clermont City Council approved a master plan that will serve as a blueprint for the city's future during the next five, 10 and 20 years and our new office will be right in the middle of it all!
The Clermont community is committed to ensuring the ongoing social, cultural and economic value of its downtown and waterfront. For the last 100 years, the hills, historic downtown, adjacent neighborhoods and the Lake Minneola waterfront have been the defining characteristics of the community, creating a setting for a livable, small town feel that is connected to friend and family, the local Florida environment, and an emergent identification with healthy living. The downtown and waterfront is the place which all of Clermont takes ownership in, and it is a place where residents, business owners, and institutions have invested themselves to enjoy the high quality of life of this intimate community.
Clermont and its waterfront are also emerging as a regionally significant address. Since the development of the South Lake Trail, the Olympic Training Center, and the strong regional growth, the South Lake County area has developed a unique character brand and identity associated specifically with Clermont. Today, Clermont has become a destination for tourism, athletic training and competition, recreation, commerce, and culture. The community’s current challenge is to leverage these assets while protecting and enhancing the character of the ‘real Clermont’ to the benefit of those who live and work here.
As a community, Clermont has engaged in discussions about its character, vision, and future. This was accomplished, in part, through an extensive visioning process and recently adopted re-branding. The outcome of these efforts is the development of a platform of engaged stakeholders who are optimistic about the future, and prepared to tackle challenges in order to maximize Clermont’s potential as a beautiful, livable community of choice.
