It appears that we may see the bulldozers again at the Cypress Creek Mall site in Lutz. Construction was halted in February 2008 when the developer's wetlands permit was suspended for releasing turbid stormwater into Cypress Creek, nearby wetlands and stormwater retention ponds on the site. In a September 3rd statement, The Army Corp of Engineers announced that their investigation determined this to have been human error rather than the design of the project.
With the explosive population increase in Land O' Lakes and Wesley Chapel, the mall will bring much needed jobs and revenue to the area. Once completed, the mall is expected to create almost 4,000 jobs, an annual revenue of $6 million for Pasco County and $2.4 million for the Pasco County school system.
