Have you ever been to DeLand? It's quiet and pretty rural, not much by way of kosher etc. Tampa is more lively, has a major airport, already has a few amenities for Jews (Winn Dixie there sells kosher meat, two mikvaos, etc).

I don’t think Malka Taussig has anything with Bobov. I also would be very surprised if Bobov would be doing this. I was under the impression that it will be a mix and that’s why they wanted to see who is interested and what type of institutions they’ll need.

I’m curious to hear more.
What is there in terms of schooling, jobs, shuls, food ?
And I would find it very surprising if Bobov has anything to do with this.

Maybe they have space for 2500 but I heard they were building 250 homes.

This is not affiliated with any specific chassidus. Malka Taussig is coordinating this. You can reach her at the email posted above.

Underway with developer is:

A development with 2,500 homes (mix of townhouses, 40 lot, 50 lot, 60 lot single family homes) available to be completed by Pesach 2021.

We are working to finalize Exact Homes Cost and Design to include kosher kitchen, pesach kitchen, proper dining room, etc

Public facilities, Main Shul, small shuls, Mikva, School and Cheder. All within the community.

It’s so bizarre to me that a community where I presume shmiras ainayim is of utmost importance would choose a beach community where it is warm year round to settle

I guess they want the same things as everyone else: good weather, lower taxes, growing economy. And everything new in Florida is a gated development, so you keep out the riff raff.

When are they expecting to have the school and cheder up and running? Will it be only chassidish community?

Politely, wondering if you've been to Tampa... Not nearly the "beach culture" that you'd find in Miami. Decent beaches are close but still a drive. Have to go to nearby Clearwater/St Pete/etc. It's warm, lower cost of living than up North, lots of economic growth, more room in general around (backyard, not living on top of other people like NYC, etc). I would think Miami, LA, etc would be worse regarding shmiras einayim comparatively.
