The City of Inverness has made significant public investments in revitalization, including newly constructed lakefront amenities such as Liberty Park, Wallace Brooks Park, and the Depot District, enhancing quality of life and long-term economic vitality. Additionally, the recent $135 million expansion of the Suncoast Parkway, along with planned future extensions, positions Citrus County for continued growth as part of the Tampa–St. Petersburg–Clearwater MSA.
Within an expanded 15-minute trade area, the property captures an ideal customer base of approximately 46,361 residents, with an average age of 58 and median household income of $65,000. Consumer data indicates that 66% of residents dine at sit-down restaurants, 89% frequent fast-food establishments, and healthcare expenditures exceed $106 million annually, driven by the area’s age-weighted demographics.
