SouthWood, Tallahassee, Florida

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SouthWood is a planned community located in Tallahassee, Florida. The community is located on the southeast side of Tallahassee. In the community is located the Florida State Office Complex, Florida State University School, and John Paul II Catholic High School.

The 8700 acre (3500 hectare) development, planned by Southwood Properties, the development subsidiary of the St. Joe Paper Company, was controversial,[1] and was canceled in 1989 after the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) required 40% affordable housing.[2] A new plan for the same project, now being developed by St. Joe/Arvida, was approved by the city in 1999[3] and later by the DCA.[citation needed]
