Dowden Central Community Development District

planned

The Dowden Central Community Development District is a nearly 380-acre area in southeast Orlando established to support new infrastructure and eventual development. It is a special-purpose government entity used to finance and manage infrastructure for large-scale developments, including roads, drainage systems, utilities, parks, and security features. The district is overseen initially by a five-member board, with control expected to transition to residents over time. Development is expected to occur in phases over the next several years, funded through assessments on the property within the district rather than citywide taxpayers.
