๐Ÿฅ Another major healthcare project is coming to Riverview.

Construction is now underway on a new 40-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital near St. Joseph's Hospital-South in Riverview.

The approximately 40,000-square-foot facility will provide specialized care for patients recovering from strokes, brain injuries, major surgeries and other serious medical conditions. The hospital is expected to open in summer 2027.

Developed by Ryan Companies in partnership with Exalt Health, the project marks the first of three planned post-acute care facilities across Florida.

As South Hillsborough continues to add thousands of new residents each year, projects like this help expand access to healthcare services closer to home.

๐Ÿซ South Hillsborough's newest educational campus continues to take shape in Wimauma.

A new middle school is currently under construction adjacent to Aquilla J. Morgan High School, creating what will eventually become a multi-school campus designed to serve one of the fastest-growing areas in Hillsborough County.

The $72 million school is expected to open in August 2027 and accommodate up to 1,600 students. Plans for the site also include a future elementary school, allowing the area to support students from kindergarten through high school on neighboring campuses.

The project comes as Wimauma and surrounding communities continue to see significant residential growth, with new neighborhoods bringing thousands of additional families to South County.

Aquilla J. Morgan High School opened in August 2025. Less than a year later, work is well underway on the next phase of the area's expanding educational infrastructure.

Do you think Hillsborough County is keeping pace with growth in South Hillsborough County?

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Major Mixed-Use Development Proposed for Simmons Loop in Riverview

New plans submitted to Hillsborough County propose a multi-phase development on Simmons Loop that would bring:

โ€ข 300 apartment units
โ€ข 200 townhomes
โ€ข Approximately 10,000 square feet of commercial space

The project would add a total of 500 new housing units to the area, along with amenities, internal roadways, stormwater facilities, landscaping, and a small commercial component intended to serve residents and the surrounding community.

As growth continues throughout Riverview and South Hillsborough County, developments like this often generate strong opinions on both sides. Supporters point to the need for additional housing and local services, while critics raise concerns about traffic, school capacity, and infrastructure keeping pace with growth.

The proposal is still working its way through the review process.

What do you think?

Is Simmons Loop an appropriate location for 500 new homes, or has growth in the area already outpaced the roads and infrastructure needed to support it?

Lithia - A controversial proposal to build up to 280 homes on approximately 190 acres in Lithia is moving forward after ...
06/12/2026

Lithia - A controversial proposal to build up to 280 homes on approximately 190 acres in Lithia is moving forward after a 5-2 vote by the Hillsborough County Commission Thursday night.

The proposal, submitted by Homes by WestBay, would bring the property at 18308 Dorman Road into the Urban Service Area and change its future land use designation from Agricultural-Rural to Residential-2.

Under current zoning, the site could accommodate approximately 38 homes. The proposed land use would allow significantly greater residential density, with the developer currently proposing a 280-home community.

The vote followed nearly two hours of public testimony and drew more than 100 residents to the County Center, many affiliated with Preserve Rural Lithia. Forty-three speakers signed up to address commissioners.

Residents opposing the project raised concerns about traffic congestion, school overcrowding, emergency response times, flooding, loss of agricultural land, impacts on horses and livestock, and the continued erosion of Lithia's rural character.

Several speakers told commissioners they chose to live in Lithia specifically because of its large-acre rural lifestyle. Others argued that continued suburban expansion is steadily reducing one of the few remaining agricultural areas in southeastern Hillsborough County.

The project also faced criticism from planning officials. The Planning Commission voted 4-3 to recommend denial, finding the proposal inconsistent with portions of the county's Comprehensive Plan. County planning staff also concluded future traffic capacity is currently inadequate to accommodate the additional trips generated by the proposed land-use change. Hillsborough County Fire Rescue raised concerns about increased response times and additional strain on local infrastructure.

Supporters of the project argued the site is adjacent to existing suburban development, meets the criteria for Urban Service Area expansion, and represents a relatively low-density project compared to many developments approved elsewhere in the county. They also pointed to planned road and infrastructure improvements already programmed for the area.

Commissioner Joshua Wostal, who supported the proposal, said growth is inevitable and described the request as "one of the lowest-scale density asks you could hope for."

Thursday's vote does not grant final approval. The proposal will now be transmitted to Tallahassee for state review before returning to the Hillsborough County Commission for a final public hearing and vote.

For many residents, the debate goes beyond a single development proposal. It reflects a larger question facing southeastern Hillsborough County:

How do you balance continued growth with preserving the rural character that attracted so many families to Lithia in the first place?

Do you agree with the commission's 5-2 vote?

The proposed Tampa Bay Rays stadium deal continues to face several significant hurdles.

Questions surrounding property tax reform, public funding sources, competing demands for Raymond James Stadium improvements, and growing scrutiny from local officials are all adding pressure to the proposal.

One of the latest developments came from Hillsborough County Commissioner Chris Boles, who is seeking additional analysis on how proposed property tax changes could affect county finances before negotiations move forward.

Which of these issues do you think presents the biggest challenge to the proposed stadium deal?

๐Ÿ‘€ HAS WHOLE FOODS PULLED OUT OF LITHIA CROSSING?

Over the past few days, I've received several messages asking whether Whole Foods has backed out of the Lithia Crossing project in Valrico.

The rumors appear to have picked up after a leasing sign was placed on the property advertising an "Anchor Space Available," with several people telling me they've heard Whole Foods is out.

So I researched...

Based on everything I've reviewed, I have found no evidence that Whole Foods has abandoned the project.

In fact, Hillsborough County records currently show an issued interior build-out permit associated with Whole Foods, active permitting activity as recently as ๐‰๐ฎ๐ง๐ž ๐Ÿ, ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”. a Notice of Commencement filed by Whole Foods Market Group, and a full set of architectural plans for the Valrico store.

The current site plan doesn't consist of just the Whole Foods building. It also includes two additional retail spaces being created alongside the grocery store. One of those spaces is already expected to become Warby Parker, while another retail space appears to still be available for lease.

That could mean the "Anchor Space Available" sign people are seeing may actually be referring to that vacant adjacent commercial spaceโ€”not the Whole Foods store itself.

Could plans change? Of course. Development projects evolve all the time, and until the doors officially open, nothing is ever guaranteed.

But based on the public documents available today, I haven't found anything indicating that Whole Foods has pulled out.

When I originally broke this story, I thought the store could be up and selling by Thanksgiving 2026. Based on this most recent information, I don't think that's completely out of the questionโ€”but they'd have to hustle.

PS: All the work you're currently seeing out front is related to the installation of the new traffic signal.

Have you heard the rumors too? Or do you think the leasing sign has simply been misunderstood? ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿฆ FLORIDA'S FIRST YOGURTINI APPEARS TO BE COMING TO RIVERVIEW! ๐Ÿ‘€

While reviewing newly filed construction documents, I came across plans showing Yogurtini Self-Serve preparing for a location at 13392 US Highway 301 S in Riverview.

After digging a little deeper, the company's own store locator currently lists locations in Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Nevadaโ€”with no existing Florida locations. If that remains the case, this Riverview location would become Yogurtini's first location in the State of Florida.

For those unfamiliar with the brand, Yogurtini is a premium self-serve frozen yogurt concept featuring 16+ flavors and more than 80 toppings, letting customers build their dessert exactly the way they like it.

The construction plans include detailed tenant buildout information, one of the strongest signs that a project is moving forward behind the scenes.

No opening date has been announced yet, but I'll continue following the permits and filings and will post updates as I find them.

Would you be excited to see Florida's very first Yogurtini open right here in Riverview? ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ—๏ธ VALRICO'S "STONEHENGE" MAY FINALLY BE SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE

For years, the unfinished concrete towers on the southwest corner of SR 60 and Mulrennan Road have stood as one of Valrico's most recognizable landmarks.

Known by many locals as "Stonehenge Valrico," the project was originally approved as a 340-unit apartment community, but construction stalled years ago, leaving residents wondering if work would ever resume.

Now, new records reviewed by Bokors Corner suggest there may finally be movement behind the scenes.

In May, 14 Notices of Commencement were recorded for the project, and a new contractor was named โ€” representing the most significant activity at the site in years.

The filings cover a planned 325-unit apartment community that includes six residential buildings, a clubhouse, resort-style pool, dog park, volleyball court, garages and other amenities.

The development has experienced delays, legal disputes and years of uncertainty, but the recent filings indicate the project remains very much alive.

While Notices of Commencement do not guarantee construction will begin immediately, they are often one of the first signs that a project may be preparing to move forward.

After years of questions surrounding the site, these new filings represent the strongest indication yet that activity may be returning to Valrico's most talked-about unfinished development.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ MAJOR BIG BEND ROAD DEVELOPMENT MAY FINALLY BE MOVING FORWARD

A large development that has quietly worked its way through the planning process over the past several years may finally be moving closer to reality.

Located at the northeast corner of Big Bend Road and Simmons Road, the approximately 80-acre site was approved by Hillsborough County in January 2023 for a major mixed-use development that includes up to 900 apartment units, medical uses, retail space, warehouse and distribution uses, and other commercial development.

The project has undergone significant changes over the years.

Prior plans called for a major HCA Florida healthcare campus featuring a proposed 250-bed hospital and extensive medical office space. Those plans were ultimately replaced with the mixed-use development approved by county commissioners.

According to information recently shared with Bokors Corner, activity associated with the project may finally be beginning to move forward after years of planning, approvals, and delays.

The approved plans also include significant roadway improvements, including the future extension of Simmons Road, the realignment of Old Big Bend Road, new access connections, and additional infrastructure designed to support long-term growth throughout the corridor.

If built as approved, the project would transform one of the largest undeveloped properties along Big Bend Road and add another major chapter to the ongoing growth of South Hillsborough County.

โ™ป๏ธ UPDATE: SOUTHEAST COUNTY LANDFILL CHANGES REVERSED

Hillsborough County has reversed its planned June 1 changes and will continue allowing residential disposal at the Southeast County Landfill at no cost.

According to the county, residents can continue using their property tax bill for their limited disposal allowance, including trash and tire disposal, just as they do today.

The decision came after county officials received community feedback regarding the planned elimination of residential drop-off service.

The county is encouraging visitors to wear closed-toed shoes and preferably a high-visibility shirt or vest for safety.

For now, it's business as usual at the Southeast County Landfill.
