Good morning, Clermont.

White Castle will open its new location on August 12 in Clermont (4551 Collina Terrace).

The 3,220-square-foot restaurant will offer indoor and outdoor seating along with two drive-thru lanes and will create 75 new jobs in Lake County.

Early Wednesday, Lake County deputies used a drone to help Tavares and Eustis police follow a fleeing suspect—his empty vehicle was found and he was arrested on charges including possession of fentanyl, driving with a suspended license, fleeing law enforcement, and grand theft auto.

Clermont Police Department launched a real-time camera network called Connect Clermont and is inviting local residents and business owners to register their cameras so officers know where cameras are during emergencies—police say the added data will cut investigation times and support plans for a real-time crime center at headquarters by the end of 2026.
