Morning Brunch Markets and Local Auto Shows Headline Sunday
Spring Hill, FL · August 23, 2026
Pour that first cup of coffee and savor the quiet breeze before today's heat rolls in. Plenty is happening across the area if you are looking to get out and about.
The Lead
Plans are coming into focus for a proposed 550-acre wellness retreat and outdoor reserve spanning southern Hernando and northern Pasco counties. Spearheaded by the regional hospitality group behind Tampa's Oxford Exchange, the project—dubbed Clay Hill—aims to keep much of the property’s rolling oak hammocks and open pasture land intact. Proposed amenities include miles of hiking trails, low-impact outdoor recreation spaces, and equestrian grounds designed to blend seamlessly into the rural landscape. For local residents who prize tranquil green space over suburban sprawl, the plan offers a low-density alternative to standard housing developments along the county border. Public site review meetings and environmental impact discussions are scheduled to move through planning boards this fall.
