In reference to this topic. I am in agreement that the city needs an economic advisory role. Between debatable topics such as: annexation, the City Center Project, preventing poor zoning and improvement projects. There are too many issues at hand that are required for growth and future development. The more economic feedback that can be given to both the Mayor and City Council, the better the city can ascertain what’s best for servicing the people of Apopka while maintaining its history and natural beauty.

As a new resident of Apopka, there are so many opportunities for further growth potential. To foolishly stand by while new/future residents, such as myself and others, paying taxes to further provide for basic services will keep the current status quo but not create wealth for a city that, over time, can be it’s own unique symbol of Central Florida lifestyle.

Ultimately, the city would have economic consequences to face if there is not a clear vision for what the future of Apopka should be and whom it should be both appealing to and providing for its current and future citizens.

From: Does Becker have the support on City Council to start an economic development department?
