Is there really a demand for a facility like this in Ocala?
In Ocala? No. Definitely not. That said, Ocala is in an interesting position with regards to Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville so I could see regional meets being held there (but then again... why not just hold them in Orlando to begin with?). Also, land in Ocala is really, really, really cheap.
Good points, but man I try to avoid traveling anywhere near Orlando as its a crap hole of congestion. I'm N Tampa area and the I4 and Orlando driving is bananas. Tampa sucks also but my closest buddy of 25 years, who I often train with, is in the Orlando area and we prob don't get together enough because of the agony of driving in FL.
Ocala does seem odd but maybe its a move towards being more significant?
Now if FL would just get their act together and add another Interstate running north south, and maybe another two interstates running east west we can finally get somewhere easy around here.
