"Smart Change" Group Working to Expand

How many reasons can we find for a "Smart Change" group in Poinciana?  Let me count a few.  We don't want:

• Poinciana referred to as a "ghost town," as "Angelina of Florida" describes our once bustling expanse of "Disney Preserve" real estate.

• The quality of our community to suffer from the long-term effects of its current housing crisis, such as green pools, which are now ripening for our upcoming hurricane season.

• A lawsuit because some unnamed governor couldn't manage to get an approval for a hospital.

That's why a group of Solivita residents, the same ones who stopped the Lake Hatch Ranch project, are now formalizing plans to start a group they've officially named "Poinciana Residents for Smart Change" or PRSC.(1)  To find out more about joining this growing group, contact Keith Laytham at (863) 496-1884 or email Keith.
