After failed attempts to develop its 3,900-acre citrus farm on Seminole Pratt Whitney Road, Callery-Judge Grove could become Palm Beach County's newest city.
The Florida Senate on Thursday gave final approval to a bill (SB 692) that would allow the special improvement district surrounding the grove to incorporate.
If approved by Gov. Rick Scott, voters could ask the improvement district's governing board to convert to a municipality. Ulitmately, a majority of the district's voters would have to approve the measure.
