Osceola Heritage Park is slated for a significant transformation as the Wilf family, owners of Orlando City, SC, and Orlando Pride, propose a nearly $1 billion redevelopment. GrowthSpotter detailed the ambitious plan coined Project Next, featuring an expanded headquarters, 18 training fields, living quarters for an academy, and amenities like apartments, hotels, and retail spaces.

A framework for the plan also maps out three parking garages with 4,800 spaces, a necessary provision for the eager fans and visitors anticipated to frequent the mixed-use development. Anchoring this progression is a surge of economic vitality in the form of jobs, tax revenue, and enhanced tourism. According to the WESH report, the project promises 855 permanent jobs and an annual fiscal impact ranging from $2.4 million to $3.8 million for Osceola County.

The undertaking, expected to begin as early as 2025, seeks to end Osceola Heritage Park's yearning for a fruitful future, a quest unfulfilled. Osceola County's hopes are tethered to the project's successful realization, with Osceola County Manager Don Fisher expressing anticipation to "see if we can get a development agreement done," as he said, per WESH.

As plans proceed to draft and negotiate agreements within a timeline spelled out in the bid, all discourse remains in the "exploratory phase," shared Jackie Maynard, Orlando City SC Communications Director. The face of Osceola Heritage Park hinges on these developments, with the promise of revitalized space dedicated to sports, community, and economic growth.
