[Watch] Groveland's third industrial annexation

Two three-ordinance industrial annexations in Groveland
within 6 months — Gadson Street (1.9 acres, November 6,
2025, into Employment Center) and Langley Industrial Park
(6.24 acres, May 7, 2026, Rutland International, 100K sq ft
warehouse on Republic Drive) — establish the cadence. The
three-ordinance template (annexation + small-scale
comprehensive plan amendment + rezoning to Employment
Center / Light Industrial) is procedurally routine; the
cadence signals the Christopher C. Ford Commerce Park area
expanding via voluntary annexation on a roughly 6-month
interval, with the city's industrial-edge build-out
proceeding parallel to the Village core's residential
expansion. A third annexation confirms the cadence as
pattern, not exception. Watch for it on the November 2026
- February 2027 Groveland P&Z agendas. The cardinal
three-ordinance-industrial-annexation pattern confirmation
point — moving the pattern from confirmed-at-2-exhibits to
confirmed-at-3+-exhibits and locking the cadence into
Groveland's forecasting calendar as a quarterly observable.
