Four Corners
The area known as Four Corners is one of the fastest growing portions of central Florida. Positioned midway between the expanding Orlando and Lakeland urban areas, it has the unique characteristic of being part of four counties, four school districts, seven ZIP codes, three area codes, three water management districts, two regional planning councils and multitudes of service providers.
To better understand the public services provided in this area, and to begin the process of planning for more efficient delivery of future services, the boards of county commissioners of those counties asked the Central Florida and East Central Florida Regional Planning Councils to coordinate an inventory and assessment of public services needed to support the growing Four Corners area population. Though each service provider prepares detailed plans for how it will provide services, what sometimes is lacking is an overall view of how this multi-county and multi-service district area is being supported. Opportunities for cooperation between providers do exist, but without a broad view and compilation of current service efforts, such opportunities can be missed. Providing this big-picture view and identifying future service needs – at least in a general way – is the objective of this report.
