John Brown in Your Town: High-tech hub NeoCity
FOX 3 News Anchor John Brown is in Osceola County where there is a new high-tech hub under development known as NeoCity.
OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. - Osceola County commissioners on Monday approved a purchase-and-development agreement with AdventHealth to build a new health care campus on 20 acres at NeoCity.
NeoCity is a fast-growing mixed-use development off of U.S. Highway 192 between Kissimmee and St. Cloud that will include entertainment, retail, residential and business projects.
What we know:
Under the agreement, AdventHealth plans to develop the campus in phases, ultimately constructing a hospital with at least 80 beds and the capacity to expand to 200 beds within eight years.
County officials said the project is expected to bring high-paying jobs and expand access to medical care for residents.
Commission Chairman Brandon Arrington said the project reflects the county’s focus on improving health care access while supporting economic growth.
AdventHealth officials said the new campus will expand the system’s presence in Osceola County, which already includes hospitals in Kissimmee and Celebration, along with multiple emergency and outpatient facilities.
