More work for Plant City

People have the right to sell their property to whoever they want amd the purchaser has the right to do whatever they want with it

Build baby build?

More storage concrete blocks? Wondering what we’re storing everywhere and for whom. So few jobs in that.
Meg Scott
Man that’s bull **** plant City is to small for this kind of stuff and all this Land development with all these apartments and all these new houses we like to keep our small town small

Destroying Plant City

Don’t be fooled by the “jobs “line. Those jobs pay $15 an hour 30 hours and probably temp work. Those jobs won’t support a family. Sure each site has 4-5 leadership roles that pay more but don’t be deceived so easily.

So sad visiting my hometown. Definitely not a small country town anymore. People are rude.
Lisa Vogel Carter
They are taking away all of the beautiful country ,its sad to see it disappear

Horrible news. How much is City Commission being paid? Who do they work for? 100% against best interest of the city. A lot is made of our national leaders but the local leadership is a lot more important and needs even more attention. Homeless people walking all over town , drug problems in Walden Lake etc…

This is BS. I really hate this they just need to stop building here ….

And yet everyone wonders why we are flooding when it rains now. Absolutely now where for it to go. Concrete does not absorb water.
Chrystal English
So sad to see what Plant City is becoming. Keep paving over all the fields, pastures and woods then wonder why everything floods, it’s hotter, and air quality diminishes.

No one wants this
It’s better than more apartments, or townhomes, and better than subdivisions with 6:1 acre ratio houses. I agree that it’s results will be less traffic than the original plan. It’s a GOOD idea to bring jobs here. It supports our businesses. What’s not clear to me is the type of industry going in. By eliminating noise, dust, chemicals, gases, and excessive water use/pollution, does that make it a “light industry” status? If that is the case then it shouldn’t be bad for the surrounding area. I’m hoping that, anyway.

More traffic for Plant City. Ugh. I get the labor force thing but I HATE sitting in traffic.

Farm land is being Sold Due to TAXES” The Taxes is Unbelievable, for Farmers. The Cost of having A Farm is Too Much Now. Farmers Can make More $$$ Selling their land, than they get for Working it. Its a Sad Situation. Our World Now is All about$$.

Little by little buying up the land to turn Plant City into a concrete jungle, they want to make those 15 minute cities the globalists keep talking about. Keep Plant City small, small town living is a blessing. When you’ve lived in a big city you learn to appreciate slow motion.

I asked one of our commissioners about these warehouses and to be honest they had a pretty good answer about them.
Plant city has been known a commuting town. You live in PC and drive to work somewhere else.
The point of these warehouses are to allow people to live and work in PC.
The amount of resources that warehouses use compared to multifamily or single family development is minimal.
If you notice the call out that it can’t increase resource use like water with a bottling plant.
I’m not saying I like the warehouses im just saying from a business aspect it makes sense what they are doing
