Description
The City of Sumter is offering a development opportunity for a parcel of land (2026 project) and is soliciting proposals from nonprofit, private, family, or partnership entities. Applicants may purchase, lease, or arrange alternative acquisition methods and must submit a financial plan, proof of liquid funds, building floor plans, renderings, and a preliminary site layout. Construction must commence within 365 days of deed recording (with a possible 180‑day extension); failure to do so triggers automatic reversion of the property to the City. The award will be based on the completeness of the proposal, financial viability, and alignment with the City’s scope of work.
• Eligible applicants: nonprofits, private entities, families, partnerships.
• Acquisition options: purchase, lease, lease‑to‑own, trust arrangements.
• Required documentation: financial proof, floor plan, rendering, site layout.
• Construction start deadline: 365 days (plus one 180‑day extension).

• Submission deadline: Tuesday, November 3, 2026, by 2:00 pm.
