The Ferber project lead and 20-year team member, Marlon Champion, shared that the project is his
most challenging to date. "It's important to note the sheer amount
of dirt that was removed to make way for this project.
Approximately 900,000 cubic yards of dirt was moved before vertical
construction could start." Champion adds perspective noting the
dirt would fill more than 50,000 dump trucks stretching 232 miles,
roughly the distance from Tampa to
Jacksonville. "We are very pleased
with how this project turned out. We hope to do other projects in
Citrus County as they have been
one of the most cooperative counties I have ever dealt with,"
states Champion.
Citrus County Commissioners
rallied around the project and cited an amended Land Development
Code (LDC), which highlights safe and appealing design elements.
Ruthie Davis Schlabach, Citrus County Commissioner of District 3
stated, "The Ferber Company shares the County's vision for how to
best manage the growth that is coming to Citrus County, and I especially appreciate
their efforts to understand the intensions of our LDC, which adds
an extended bike path, and many features devoted to the safety of
pedestrian traffic." Ms. Schlabach added they are already feeling
the positive impacts of the project with Target alone hiring over
100 employees. "It's a great step forward in expanding the
workforce. With projects like this and partners like Ferber, I'd
say we're…on target."
