More road building was proposed in the Tampa Bay area. To take some pressure off of our super clogged roads. A major highway project that would connect Tampa to the rest of Hillsborough and Pinellas county. In other words, connecting the city to the suburbs. It has been criticized because many folks want a true mass transit system here instead of cars. Also, the ones on the county commissioner’s board are major landowners and would benefit greatly from the sale of land in this project. And I mean millions. In other words, old fashioned Florida corruptness. Another growth management technique is impact fees that go to benefit the schools in Pinellas county. New residents move in and must pay a lump sum of a few thousand dollars to offset the damage that growth does. What are some techniques in your community? This place is growing FAST!
