Groveland is a historic rural community located in southern Lake County, immediately adjacent to the City of Clermont and the ever growing Orlando regional marketplace. The City of Groveland is one of Florida's fastest growing communities, Groveland's population, up 149% from 2010 is 21,712 persons. The City's small-town feel, natural resources, recreational facilities and easy access to the Central Florida region and beyond has made Groveland a residential destination for young families and maturing households. With over 3,000 single family residential units planned and permitted for development, the City is poised for continued rapid growth. The City is challenged with an ever increasing demand for commercial, retail and hospitality services that cannot be met by the City's current building inventory.
