Note: Bushnell is a smaller community, so most activity involves individual new single-family homes (e.g., by builders like JPI Construction or in subdivisions like Royal Crest Estates), infrastructure upgrades (e.g., wastewater lift station with construction targeted for 2026+), or smaller-scale bids. No large-scale master-planned residential subdivisions beyond the above were identified with strong verification. Limited public information is available on some planned or conceptual projects.
