I have seen it posted that the head of UF Health has stated they prefer a site by the Turnpike in Lake county. More lies from the puppets.

If you haven't done so, look at the income statement of any hospital
Depreciation (which is how the impact fee would be written off) is a small fraction of total costs. Also, a lot of the depreciation line item would be for depreciation of the incredibly expensive medical equipment. To argue that an increase of a few percentage points in the cost of a building is going to influence a hospital's decision about whether to build is absolutely ridiculous baloney. BTW, this is also true for most businesses.
Whatever quotes to the contrary are set forth in David R. Corder's propaganda pieces in the Daily Sun are probably extracted by asking loaded questions.
