There is a School Board work shop that will be held Tuesday, June 23rd at 5 PM. The purpose is to bring out concerns and questions regarding Signature Crossing.

This is a 122 unit apartment complex that will be owned by an Atlanta, Georgia nonprofit.  The Developer and General Contractor are both from out of County, so the bulk of the profit from the construction will also be taken out of county.

The land will be owned by the School District. Therefore, they will pay no sales or property taxes.  This means that every business and taxpayer in Osceola County will be making up the loss of over $300,000 a year.

Be advised that the County is seeking methods to raise sales, gas and property taxes and the School Board will be increasing property taxes by a quarter mill.

You know I have been shouldering this fight for your interests and hate to ask you to go to another meeting.  I am asking you to respond to this email so I can give you our strategy.

This is an urgent request that all members attend this meeting to voice your displeasure with the School Board.  If we do nothing, we fail.  The meeting again is Tuesday, June 23rd, 5 PM.  The location is 817 Bill Beck Blvd., Kissimmee
