“ITID residents need to be involved in the design of 60th, especially the residents along 60th who are going to be most directly impacted. Even the 3 lane road they intend to build in the near future, will be a very busy road once it is opened to Seminole Pratt Whitney Road. This is our opportunity to have our voices heard and ask that it be designed with our residents and our community concerns addressed.”
Betty Argue, Committed Leadership for Indian Trail Improvement District
