The Hawthorne Mill North Community Development District is a local, special-purpose government entity authorized by Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes as amended, and established on October 4, 2021 by the City Commissioner of the City of Lakeland, Polk County, Florida, Ordinance No. 5895 as an alternative method of planning, acquiring, operating and maintaining community-wide improvements in planned communities.
The Hawthorne Mill North CDD is located entirely within the City of Lakeland, Florida, and consists of approximately 289.07 acres of land. The site is generally located east of County Line Road, south of Pipkin Road West, west of undeveloped lands and north of undeveloped lands.
A Community Development District (CDD) provides the 'solution' to Florida's need to provide valuable community infrastructure generated by growth, ultimately without overburdening other governments and their taxpaying residents. CDDs represent a major advancement in Florida's effort to manage its growth effectively and efficiently. This allows a community to establish higher construction standards, meanwhile providing a long-term solution to the operation and maintenance of the community's facilities.
