Dear Poinciana Residents and Stakeholders,
The final feasibility report produced by the UCF Institute of Government is now available on this website. You can download it from the link to the left entitled: "Downloads: Stay Informed!" It is a lengthy document. You are welcome to print the entire report, or you can read only the summary findings found within the first few pages.
Members from the Polk and Osceola County legislative delegations met on October 27 to hear citizen feedback and to express their perspectives on incorporation. Participating members were Senator Dockery, Representative Precourt, Representative Wood, and Representative Horner. The auditorium at Liberty High School was filled to capacity, with another 300 to 400 people apparently outside waiting for a chance to get in. Members heard residents speak in favor of incorporation, against incorporation, in favor of letting voters decide, and against letting voters decide.
Ultimately, the four members expressed concerns about incorporation at this time, with Senator Dockery noting the lack of consensus in the community on the issue. No final vote was taken among members; each delegation may formally vote on the issue at their separate county delegation meetings coming up in December. Residents of Poinciana are still able to contact their members to express their perspective, pro, con, or undecided.
The UCF team remains in place to respond to any questions regarding the feasibility study. If you have such questions, please email tbryer@mail.ucf.edu, or call 407-823-0410. This website will remain active at least until a final decision is made on incorporation at this point in time and possibly beyond that point. The space can continue to be used as a forum for community dialogue.
Sincerely,
Dr. Thomas Bryer
