Winter Haven's CSX tax math off a bit

Winter Haven City Manager David Greene made an interesting claim in the just-released URS report regarding the municipal economic impacts of the proposed CSX freight terminal. He said it will increase the city's tax base from $1.8 billion to $4 billion, which will yield $40 million in property taxes. Not exactly. Actually, not even close. -- Side Table Spectator
