Get Ed-you-macated!
So, with all this debate about the "billion-dollar" buildings going downtown...it's a good idea to get some facts! I found a great website that outlines the need for these buildings, who will use them, and more importantly...where the money will come from! It's Project Hometown and it is chock full of info! Check it out.

In addidtion to the vast projects and agendas of the City of Orlando, basic if not rudimentary community development skills need to be cultivated in order to get neighbors in our communities to rise above the apathy. If a hurricane strikes is your first instinct to break out the generator or is it to knock on your neighbor's door to see if they are alright? Do your kids know all the ocupants of the five houses surrounding yours? Glitterton has a zero lot line proximity that makes for ear-shot of at least five single-family dwelings. In the isolationism of new Bladwin parkish subdivisions it will take time for neighbors to get to know each other but in the communities where the billion dollar buildings are going, communities are struggling and have their own set of socioeconomic circumstances.
