Southern

Grove

On June 25 , 2012 , the City Council approved an amendment to the Community Redevelopment Plan to include the area known as Southern Grove and amended the Community Redevelopment Trust Fund to provide for additional funding for community redevelopment within Southern Grove . Formerly a citrus grove , the 3,606-acre property was annexed into the City in 2004 and approved as a Development of Regional Impact ( DRI ) in 2006 . Southern Grove is bounded by Tradition Parkway to the north , Martin County to the south , Interstate 95 to the east , and the Riverland Kennedy DRI to the west . With four ( 4 ) miles of frontage along Interstate 95 , Southern Grove is envisioned as a mixed-use regional employment center and retail destination , pursuant to the approved Southern Grove DRI Development Order .
Infrastructure improvements were constructed as part of a special assessment district and include roads , access to Interstate 95 , and water and sewer lines . Southern Grove is home to a 150- acre research and development park known as Tradition Center for Innovation that includes the Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital and the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies .
