There are always some opposed to economic development. Two lane roads (maybe even gravel) and cows grazing is their thing----around this area we are way passed that concept. This (as I posted on another thread) is a big win for Fruitland Park and Lake County. No increase population for their schools, $$$$$ from taxes and Jobs.

And, I might add, 4,000 more Villagers to buy Cars, Golf carts, and ice cream. Such a deal.

I must admit that I don't know the "political climate" for the area but I find it hard to believe that they would turn down this proposed project by the Village's Developer. Other cities would give "their eye teeth" for a chance at economic development like what is proposed by the TV Developer.

I only see minimum impact, if any, on current residents. Perhaps this will help bring a Macy's or Dillard's ---maybe even another Publix to TV. Oh, what am I saying!
