Haines City is surrounded by and experiencing overwhelming growth of its own. The EDC supports and works on projects to improve our neighborhoods and create jobs. View current development projects in progress in Haines City.
As one of the top industrial parks in Florida, the Haines City Industrial Park is located to the south of Haines City. Companies that manufacture and distribute items such as food, lumber, trusses, pavers and other housing components have located in and around the industrial park to take advantage of its prime location and the City’s rail spur connection to the main CSX line.
The Haines City Industrial Park is located in the “Heart of Florida’s” I-4/Highway 27 Corridor in the Logistical Center of Florida between Orlando and Tampa. The industrial park is accessible to a market of 8.9 million people within 100 miles.
A toll road, the Central Florida Parkway, has been proposed on State Road 544 near the western end of the Haines City Industrial Park. The road will actually be two separate roads—called “legs” by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The western segment would connect the Polk Parkway with State Road 60 between Bartow & Lake Wales. The eastern leg would start a few miles east of State Road 60 and run north, paralleling U.S. 27 terminating at Interstate 4 north of Davenport. The most recent, and viable proposed routing would connect the two “legs” together, with them meeting near the CSX Intermodal Facility south of Wahneta. The route is in its early stages of planning.

The 2.8 mile railroad spur connects the central CSX railroad line through the City to the Haines City Industrial park located along County Road 544. The 5 million dollar rail update for the rail served industrial land was completed in 2005 and funded in part through a grant from the U.S Department of Commerce.
The railroad spur allows tenants of the Haines City Industrial Park to ship products safely and efficiently by rail to most major U.S. cities. The rail served industrial land is located just North of CSX’s Integrated Logistics Center in Winter Haven.
