DESERET RANCH, Fla. (AP) — Under one of the biggest land development plans ever proposed in Florida, a tract more than six times the size of Manhattan could be transformed from a home for cows and alligators into new housing developments for half a million people.
Over the next six decades, the plan being developed by the Mormon church-owned Deseret Ranch promises to convert the largest undeveloped section of metro Orlando into more than a dozen bustling neighborhoods.

Incredibly huge development.
Cool. Mormons are good neighbors, and there’s plenty of room here.
Do Mormon cattle ride bicycles?
Aaaaahhhhh! Someone using their property! How can this be allowed?
Need a favor, ask a Mormon.
Ha ha. There’s a photo at link. They are using old-fashioned cowboys to herd them.
Since it is a cooperative 8 million acres- how does this sit with the Mormon 2 years prepper and conservancy of productive farmland directive and belief? It doesn’t. Raw acreage, miles from Orlando, and all to cash in in cheap (judging from the one development they have near St.Cloud— it is crap construction). The elders command and they bank it.
Is this even bigger than the massive property purchase made by Walt Disney in the late 50s ? Or was it the 60s ?
God-fearing white people who have a work ethic, strong families, and take care of each other.
Oh, the Huge Manatee!!
This is horrible. I can see why there is a controversy in central Florida. The politicians don’t need that kind of folk.
I don’t think such huge developments are good. They change neighborhoods over night and they lure people to abandon their homes and neighborhoods which I think takes value from the neighborhoods that are already established. I also believe that massive building projects like these cause boom and bust housing bubbles. I have seen a couple of these bubbles ever since the seventies whereas before that time the value of homes would only rise incrementally.
Implacable enemies of the administration, every last one of them!
Please don’t tell its to house Muslims
It seems that most of the people who settle in these overnight neighborhoods come from the north from such states as Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. They vote Democat changing the culture of the state of Florida. I know many people from Massachusetts who have moved to Florida.
They are not making babies, they are just moving.
I don’t make babies anymore but I’m still practicing.
I'm with you. What is needed is a Planning Commission, stuffed full of do gooders and other liberal busy bodies. They should have total authority to do as they please with no input or constraints from the tax paying public. That's the ticket, we'll put a stop to this sort of nonsense.
The alternative is DDT, forbidden here. Oh well. After a while in hot, human Florida, the desert won't look so bad.
Are all six million Mormons moving there?

I don’t know any Progressive Mormons. Not saying that there aren’t any, but I never met one.
Florida cowboys typically use bullwhips and dogs.
That is actually the source of the word “cracker”.
I don’t think that the article said that the homes would be only for Mormons. I think that they are just going to build the houses and sell them to who ever. Orlando and other parts of Florida has large numbers of northern liberals that are changing the voting patterns of Florida. Liberals move—they don’t change.
That is cattle ranching land.
The call themselves “cowhunters”.
This is just a trailer, but its enjoyable!!
Many people don’t know that Fl was the first
in big cattle. Then some of them went west.

It’s what our son-in-law does. 5th generation Cowhunter.
Very proud of him.
