Introducing the Alafia River Mitigation Bank – A Rare Opportunity in West-Central Florida
The Alafia River Mitigation Bank (ARMB) is 468 acre site located north of Lithia Springs in Hillsborough County within the Alafia River Drainage Basin. ARMB was approved by the Southwest Florida River Water Management District in May 2017 and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in April 2018 to provide freshwater forested wetland credits for projects with wetland impacts within portions of Hillsborough and Polk Counties, which include Brandon, Plant City, Lakeland, Riverview and FishHawk areas.
With 3 miles of direct river frontage along the Alafia River, this property offers tremendous ecological and recreational value, including hunting, kayaking, and eco-tourism. Additionally, the deed allows for a 7-acre homesite, making it a perfect blend of preservation and private retreat potential.
