“Yes. Good. All right, thank you. I have one item myself. This one's coming forward.

“Yeah, I guess I'll have to go and check it out. I just want to see how far down they're coming because that's like our, you know, commercial quarter. If you know, there's been a plan to move the commercial all the way down the Polk County boundary. There are just folks are not super happy about it either. So I was just kind of wondering if this is a better option than being part of Plant City's expansion, which would likely be large commercial.”

“Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you both for your presentation. I appreciate it, and I appreciate most that you've taken a lot of time to engage the community. I'm interested if you get the same when you're out, when you're out speaking to them, if you get the same feedback that we get, just the time frames are just... They are.
