The City of
Longwood may not be one of the largest cities in Central Florida, but it ranks among the
oldest, dating roughly from the end of the Second Seminole War.
The City of
Longwood prides itself on providing a favorable atmosphere to the development and
enhancement of commercial and industrial uses. There are approximately 465 acres devoted
to commercial use and approximately 355 acres for industrial purposes within the City. New
developers are always welcome by City staff to meet and review their location/development
needs and discuss all aspects of permitting activities and approvals.
Longwood is
unique in that it provides a comfortable, safe, small town atmosphere while being nestled
within a larger, dynamic metropolitan area which is internationally known for its ambiance
and attractions.
The Historic
City of Longwood takes collective pride in that a significant portion of its central area
is on the National Register of Historic Places. The combination of this Old Florida charm
and the Citys dedication to attracting new and dynamic industrial enterprise
warrants careful examination by newcomers. We welcome all your interest.
