There won't be a groundbreaking ceremony AFAIK, but you do have a point.
Out of curiosity, why isn't this in the 'Under Construction' section of the board? It's already being built as we speak.
Here is a more detailed breakdown of the Universal's Epic Universe including theme lands, potential rides and economic impacts of this amazing new park/resort. The area will receive major infrastructure upgrades including dedicated bus transit lanes to connect the two resorts. The new complex will employ 14,000 people and will bring a 3+ billion dollar investment to the Orlando region.

It’s a word that gets tossed around a lot in today’s day and age, though not one we use loosely. When we label something as epic, we want that experience to live up to the promise that the word makes. Which is why today we are elated to announce the addition of our fourth theme park, Universal’s Epic Universe, an experience genuinely worthy of its bold moniker.
Universal’s Epic Universe will offer an entirely new level of experiences that will forever redefine theme park entertainment. Guests will venture beyond their wildest imagination, traveling into beloved stories and through vibrant lands on adventures where the journey is as astounding as the destination. The new location will feature a theme park, an entertainment center, hotels, shops, restaurants and more. Ultimately, this expansion will create more space and freedom to let loose and create lasting memories with the people you love.

A single palm tree has been planted in the Universal expansion site (rumored name: Fantastic Worlds). It seems like site work this stage of development is complete, and the palm was planted in a variation of a topping off ceremony.
