Once a sleepy railroad town, Wildwood has a bulging portfolio of development projects that could add tens of thousands of new residents by 2030.

Those projects include nearly a dozen residential developments, 19 commercial and office projects, two mixed-use developments and about a half dozen senior care facilities. A complete list of projects was detailed recently in a report to the City Commission by development services director Melanie Peavy.

Wildwood’s city limits stretch from the Oxford area near U.S. 301 and County Road 466 to the proposed turnpike interchange at County Road 468. The city overlaps The Villages, which is unincorporated, so some Villages developments such as Pinellas Plaza and Brownwood are included.

Two of the largest residential projects, Landstone and Wildwood Springs, were proposed in 2008, but have been delayed. Some of the other projects have been completed while others are under construction or still in the plan review stage. The city’s 2013 population was 6,594.
