Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise is planning a new tolled, limited access highway between Poinciana and Lake Wales. On January 15, 2025, Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise held a public meeting and took comments on four potential routes for the new highway. Below are two maps displaying the four routes currently under consideration by Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise.

While a final route has yet to be selected, all four routes could significantly impact property owners in Polk County. Peterson & Myers, P.A., represents property owners and business operators in Polk County and all over Florida in eminent domain cases. Deborah Ruster, a Shareholder at Peterson & Myers, P.A., has over thirty years of experience in the eminent domain field. Deborah has handled eminent domain proceedings involving a wide range of property types, including large row crop farms, rebar manufacturing operations, golf courses, cattle ranches, and concrete batch plants.
