The soon-to-come Apopka City Center (above) will encompass 35 acres at the interchange of U.S. 441 and S.R. 436. It will contain 207,000 square feet of restaurants, retail and office space as well as a hotel, homes and a community park. The Apopka Amphitheater (below) is part of the city’s Northwest Recreation Complex. It seats 1,500 with lawn seating for as many as 5,000.
