The Sarasota Herald-Tribune in its column "
Healthy change in North Port"
commends the building of a new "North Port Regional Medical Center. .
.a significant step in the city's journey toward becoming a more
self-contained place."
They also state, "North Port, which
recent estimates show has about 50,000 residents, was founded almost 50
years ago by a development company that did not include much more than
residential lots in its plans for a sprawling city."
Is the
editorial board suddenly pro-developer or are they just recognizing
that developers do good and create wonderful communities like North
Port, Florida.
We commend Dr. Lee Gross, and
Sarasota Memorial Hospital for their entrepreneurial spirit in building this much needed
North Port Regional Medical Center.
Development
and the growth of a city is always reason to celebrate. We wish
the Sarasota Herald-Tribune would provide more of these positive
stories about our vibrant and growing community.
We also commend
the North Port City Commission for fast tracking this great medical
facility. They understand the value of a healthy community - both
medically and economically.
