Construction began this spring on Longleaf

Construction began this spring on Longleaf, a 568-acre traditional neighborhood development (TND) in New Port Richey, Florida. The project was developed by the Longleaf Development Company and designed by Geoffrey Farrell and Armando Montero. The first phase of construction is scheduled for completion by November, 1999, and consists of twenty houses, a town meeting hall, and a community pool on the main green. The project was designated a community development district by the state, which permitted the developer to raise funds for infrastructure by selling tax-free bonds.
