About the Plan
The Wimauma Village Plan focuses on health, equity, resilience,
and sustainability. The community-wide approach celebrates Wimauma’s agricultural heritage, rural natural resources, local businesses, cultural legacy, and small-town character. As Wimauma grows, the community envisions a self-sustaining community which is safe and welcoming to residents and businesses with access to improved well-being, housing, and opportunity.
The Plan consists of nine (9) goals and strategies that are generally intended to enhance community character, promote the development of a town center, promote economic development, establish design standards, protect and enhance the environment, enhance the safety of the community, improve the transportation system, and develop trail and sidewalk connectivity.
The Plan boundary is generally west of U.S. Highway 301, north of the Manatee County line, east of the Little Manatee River and Balm Wimauma Road, and south of County Road 672. Wimauma also lies within the “SouthShore Areawide Systems Plan” area.
