Conclusion

• The Five Year Development Plan should consist of
  mixed land use development , such as condominiums
  or apartment complexes, in the larger sites
  within Newberry and Residential Development in
  the scattered sites of High Springs and Alachua.
  The city of Hawthorne should take last priority
  on development due to its small amount of
  available land.
