Swamp Fox Entertainment Complex Undergoing Major Development

The Owner of the Swamp Fox Entertainment Complex in Marion County is currently in the process of transforming it into a major development. Their plans include 1,800 cottage homes and condos, a retail space and a 650,000 square-foot entertainment park. Construction is expected to start as soon as this summer. They plan to completely remove the amphitheater and replace it with things like a gas station, a bank, a walk-in medical clinic and some restaurants. The plans also include a community pool and sports courts among other things. The property was originally purchased in 2014 by Robert Hartmann who hoped the amphitheater would generate hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars. However, that never happened.
