“A Celebration Station or Dave and Buster’s.” – Brandy Hill
“A good seafood restaurant.” – Teresa Fulghum
“First Watch!” – Savannah Kitzis
“Target and a Crunch gym.” – Samantha Hamilton
“A farm-to-table restaurant, a cafe that uses local food from the farms and it would be great if it had a playground/outdoor venue for music.” – Lindsey Hanson
“A town center.” – Woody Ayers
“Dinner options in our downtown.” – Cody Lenz
“Home Depot.” – Suzanne Penney Calder
“A waterpark for all ages.” – Veronica Leonard-Cannon
“Skating rink.” – Melissa Harvey Allen
“Whole Foods.” – Renee Navalta-Newton
“Chicken Salad Chick.” – Christina Danielle Higgs
“Chipotle.” – Stephanie Ramirez Hanna
“Definitely Target and somewhere healthy to eat, like a Fresh Kitchen or something.” – Haley Riley
“Harbor Freight.” – Zack Presnell
“Something similar to The Joinery in Lakeland, small eating venues with variety.” – Nancy Jo Crist
“Bowling,” – Jyl Barber
“Skating rink for the kids in Plant City, our kids seem to be left out. Things for families to do that aren’t alcohol related.” – Janet Surrency
“Mini golf, bowling or Target.” – Kevin Cortez
“A really trendy brewery.” – Chase Price
“Golf course!” – Tammy Woodall
“Affordable housing, pool to go swimming, Celebration Station, amusement park, Red Lobster.” – Deborah Kendrick
“A good Thai restaurant. We had one in town that was really good but they closed. Although I am not happy about all the extra traffic and building everywhere so I would be fine without building on more. Would love a nice tea room since the one downtown closed.” – Nicole Lambert Bargeron
“Another bowling alley but bigger than the original one we had that they took down. Big enough for lots of families and guests with theme nights and cosmic bowling. A Target or Walmart Market with only groceries.” – Andrea Becker
“Schools and road to handle all the folks moving in.” – Kay Howard
“A Golf Course, Trader Joe’s, Grain & Berry, Cooper’s Hawk, Green Lemon and a Fresh Kitchen. I can keep on going!” – Dena Martin
“Water Stations Playground! Cracker Barrel, Olive Garden, Einstein Bagels… the list goes on!” – Ronda Dennis Kyler
More restaurants. I love Brick House and Wooden Spoon but neither are open at night.” – K.A. Kryszczak
“I would love to take the train from Plant City to Tampa or Orlando, I have seen the Amtrak passing by but never stops in our town. Connectivity would allow our town to bloom even more, having visitors from others towns spend the day here for events or even help locals get jobs in neighboring towns.” – Clarisa Sanchez Acosta
“Home Depot, Texas Roadhouse, Bojangles’.” – Nikki Murphy
“A non-chain, sit down, date night type restaurant.” – Amada Graziani Trejbrowski
