Can Florida Change The Way It Grows In a Down Economy June 30, 2010 -- Central Florida's approach to growth could be reaching a turning point.

Recent US census data show the state's growth rate at it's lowest point in a decade. So, with fewer residents to provide tax revenue, will Florida change its decades long pattern of urban sprawl? On this week's Intersection 90.7s Mark Simpson discussed that question with Rollins College Planning expert Bruce Stephenson. Here's part of their conversation. You can hear Bruce Stephenson's complete conversation with 90.7s Mark Simpson on Intersection Wednesday evening at 6:30 and Saturday Morning at 7:30. |
