Polk County, Fla.-The Mosaic Co. announced on Nov. 17 that it will make use of a portion of a 16,000-acre tract of land previously mined for phosphate in Central Florida to build a major new resort in Polk County. Streamsong, touted as a world-class resort, will include two 18-hole golf courses and will initially offer 140 guest rooms, with the potential to expand to 200 rooms, as well as five villas with four guest rooms adjoining a common gathering area.
