KISSIMMEE, Fla. —

Osceola County commissioners will vote Monday on whether to approve a development agreement that would bring $50 million to the redevelopment of Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee.

Under the agreement, county leaders would approve $25 million in tourism development tax funds for improvements to Osceola County Stadium and the Orlando City Training Complex. Orlando Sports Enterprises LLC — the owners of Orlando City Soccer Club — would contribute $25 million to the plan, called Project Next.

Another $200,000 in tourism development tax funds already budgeted would still require approval, but it would go toward operating expenses for Osceola County Stadium, according to Osceola County Assistant County Manager Donna Renberg.

“Both the county and the team are contributing funds toward the expansion and improvement of the stadium, training center and surrounding grounds, all of which will remain county assets,” Renberg told WESH 2. “The county’s contribution is targeted toward site infrastructure and public access areas, including the stadium and the construction of two turf fields in front of the stadium.”

Renberg said the last time the county made significant improvements to Osceola County Stadium and the training complex was in 2002, when the Houston Astros used the facilities for spring training. Tourism development tax funds were used for those renovations, she said.

“We can confirm that the club is looking to advance its partnership with Osceola County by seeking the approval of development agreements for our training facility at Osceola Heritage Park,” a team spokesperson told WESH 2 on Friday. “However, as this is a pending voting matter, we are not in a position to offer further comment at this time.”

Last November, county commissioners approved a memorandum of understanding between the county and the owners of Orlando City Soccer Club, kick-starting negotiations over the use and redevelopment of Osceola Heritage Park.

The Silver Spurs Arena, Exhibition Hall and Events Center are not among the properties slated for improvements under the development agreement.

The agreement does include two public-use artificial turf fields in front of Osceola County Stadium.

Osceola County will sell a portion of the land at Osceola Heritage Park, near Bill Beck Boulevard and Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway, for an expected $450,000 per acre. As part of the agreement, the team would add a hotel and restaurant.

Within the Orlando City training complex, 10 grass fields would be added, including four reserved for goalkeeper practice.

The project also would relocate the Orlando Pride training facility to Osceola Heritage Park once the team’s lease at Seminole County’s Sylvan Lake Park expires at the end of 2028. However, the lease includes an option to extend through 2029.

It is unclear when construction would begin, but the team would be required to submit design proposals for county approval.

Orlando City would commit to a 25-year lease with the county for the training complex and stadium. The agreement includes an option to negotiate the purchase of the land where both venues sit at the end of that term.

The county said last November that the collective goal is to complete the improvements by the end of 2028, according to the memorandum of understanding approved and signed that month.
