Rejuvenating DeLeon Springs, Florida
Lenny Siegel,
January, 2013

Some people believe that DeLeon Springs, Florida, is the Fountain of  
Youth that Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon supposedly sought in  
the 16th Century, but today it’s the surrounding unincorporated  
community that is in need of rejuvenation. At first glance, a plume  
of underground petroleum contamination appears to be preventing  
redevelopment. However, the challenge faced by the DeLeon Springs  
Community Association, Inc. is complicated by issues associated with  
the widening of U.S. Highway 17, which serves as the community’s main  
thoroughfare, and the lack of modern water and sewer utility services.
