Wabasso <br />Wabasso is an old unincorporated community at the intersection of US 1 and CR 510. Extending <br />north and south along US 1 and west on CR 510, the community is primarily rural in character <br />and has only recently received public water and sewer services. Along US 1, commercial uses <br />predominate. Those uses range from those which serve the immediate community to those which <br />take advantage of the relatively high traffic volume to serve a larger area. While citrus packing <br />and processing is the largest commercial/industrial use, residential uses including single family <br />homes and mobile homes extend along US I and CR 510. Within Wabasso, the blighted -areas <br />needing redevelopment or revitalization portion of the -area -is concentrated west of the FEC <br />Railroad along CR 510 and consists primarily of residential uses. That area has been targeted in <br />the past for assistance by the county. <br />As a result of its strategic location at the entrance to the north bridge and the barrier island, the <br />Wabasso area is likely to undergo changes in the future. In fact, recent and future growth on the <br />barrier island and in the Sebastian area to the north will most likely act as a catalyst for land use <br />changes in this area. The likely result will be the elimination of some older and smaller <br />commercial uses and residential uses in favor of larger commercial uses dependent on the high <br />traffic volumes. <br />Recognizing the potential for change, the Wabasso community has worked with the county to <br />initiate and develop a Wabasso Corridor Plan. That plan contains special standards to ensure well <br />managed growth along US 1 and CR 510 in Wabasso. <br />In Wabasso, one obstacle to major development is the difficulty in assembling enough parcels to <br />create a site large enough for commercial development. Because redevelopment happens slowly <br />if at all, it is important that the county continue to eliminate substandard housing and maintain <br />code enforcement activity in West Wabasso. <br />Gifford <br />The Gifford area in the central portion of the county is the largest of the three blighted areas <br />needing redevelopment or revitalization, as well as the area with the most public investment. <br />Currently, Gifford contains a variety of uses, ranging from heavy industrial uses including junk <br />and salvage yards to single family subdivisions. Unlike many blightedareasneeding <br />redevelopment or revitalization, Gifford is served by public water and wastewater. The area also <br />contains three public schools, a community center and a recreation facility and is the location of <br />the county sheriffs administration offices and the county jail. Several low income subsidized <br />residential developments also are located in Gifford. <br />On the east side of US 1 near Gifford, major developments include the Indian River Medical <br />Center and Grand Harbor, a 2,000 unit residential, recreation and commercial development.
