The Future Of Casselberry Requires Youthful Involvement

Casselberry has been working for over a decade to spark economic development within its borders.  Geographically situated along two major arterial roadways, The City of Casselberry is figuratively and literally at a crossroads.  The possibilities for growth and development are there.

Some development has broken loose, but it mostly involves multi-family apartments and planned developments of single family residences.  While a positive, it could be better.

The positive trajectory the city desires lies at its front door in the form of a motivated and engaged generation that is begging to be heard and engaged.

Engage the Community!


The grassroots effort to establish a skatepark, a move that would further enhance the livability of the city, is filled with younger citizens and new families looking to be part of a community.  They long for a sense of place and are willing to work for it.

If the city and its elected officials would capture that momentum and build on it, they would capture the demographic they need to advance to the next level.

Rather than the status quo, its time to shift or pivot.  Only time will tell if the city's leadership will realize the opportunity it is fortunate to have before it.

Casselberry is at a Crossroads
