Scientology City
There’s a reason some refer to Clearwater as “Scientology City.” The Church of Scientology has a very strong presence in the city, particularly in Downtown Clearwater. It started in 1975 when the church bought a hotel in the city. In the following decades, they slowly grew their presence, with members buying properties on the surrounding streets. In 2017, companies controlled by parishioners began buying commercial properties at a higher rate, doubling the church’s footprint in less than three years. In fact, 22 of the first 33 buildings down Cleveland Street are tied to Scientology. There are vacant lots and storefronts that have been bought by Scientologists and sit untouched, the purposes of said purchases not yet known. Clearwater is home to the Scientology headquarters of Florida, Flag, drawing several visitors who are making pilgrimages for their religion. There are hotels and private restaurants that host said visitors. Scientology defectors have reported that there are plans to make Clearwater the first Scientology city in the world. The church’s presence in Downtown is something to keep in mind when considering a move to the community.
