One of the statements that left some of us scratching our heads during Thursday night's County Commission Town Hall meeting in the Winter Haven suburbs was the seeming allegation of some kind of county cover-up of CSX's plans for a major freight terminal next to Winter Haven's sewer plant near Wahneta. The evidence? The fact that the project was on a December 2005 county transportation map, so county staffers knew something might be in the offing, but didn't activate the reverse-911 network.
Some inconvenient facts. CSX officials announced their plans a month after the map was published. CSX still hasn't purchased the land where the project will be located and has yet to submit a development application, so at this point the entire project is an object of speculation, not formal review. -- Side Table Spectator
I wasn't at the meeting, but I bet this comes from something Dee Dee has pointed out in the past. The map shows the road into the ILC before there was an announcement about the ILC.
