The big question the Citrus County School Board wants to answer is whether the school district will ever be able to build on the 150-acre tract, because after the sale, they learned that the property will still be included in the Betz Farm Development of Regional Impact. Being in a "DRI" means the land is bound by strict restrictions that were worked out with the state. Changing that plan significantly, such as erecting a building, could trigger complicated and expensive state review.
