LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD – AGAIN!

On behalf of Suburban Land Reserve (SLR), thank you for your petition support of Innovation for East Orange County. You were one of more than 16,790 resident signatures in support of this proposal! As a reminder, the specific information outlined within the petition included the following main points:

We support a new community in East Orange County as part of the vision, and promise made by Orange County in 2005 to create Innovation Way. Combining IWE (Innovation Way East) with ICP (International Corporate Park) is the keystone to a successful Innovation Way vision. Orange County needs the benefits of this community and Orange County must approve the land use changes in IWE. The land use changes mean:

Immediate Jobs: Upon approval many projects, such as the development of the interchange at Alafaya Trail and the 528/Beachline, will create $50,000,000 in “shovel ready” jobs for the people of our county.
Preserve Nature and Open Space: More than HALF of the land inside ICP and IWE will be dedicated to community parks, recreation trails, wildlife corridors and enlarged environmental buffers protecting Turkey Creek and Econ River.
A complete community designed around a walkable, job-rich town center surrounded by a vibrant, exciting community—a place where people enjoy living, working and interacting with each other.
Future New Job Center for High Quality, High Tech Jobs: The Central Florida Research Park will develop its new research park at ICP, creating a new high-tech job center similar to the one by UCF.

SLR’s plan was presented to the Board of County Commissioners on May 11^th. The vote by commission has been postponed until June 22^nd.

In addition to your existing petition signature, your voice can be heard again by contacting members of the Commission in emails or phone calls. If you are so inclined, let them know that you support Innovation Way East.

Please vote to transmit the Innovation Way East plan on June 22^nd.

Right now our community needs your help and, more importantly, your leadership. Innovation Way is a promise that you made to create new high-tech / high-wage jobs in a new employment center; environmental preservation and parks; and transportation access and services that can relieve the gridlock traffic.

I am writing to ask that you vote in favor of the Innovation Way East (IWE) land use changes to complete Innovation Way and deliver the vision the County Commission advocated beginning in 2005 and voted for in 2006. The time is now to take action and support a vibrant future for our region and our families.

There are specific benefits that you must take into consideration that will happen as a result of advancing this plan.

Immediate Jobs: Upon approval many projects, such as the development of the interchange at Alafaya Trail and the 528/Beachline, will create $50,000,000 in “shovel ready” jobs for the people of our county.
Preserve Nature and Open Space: More than HALF of the land inside ICP and IWE will be dedicated to community parks, recreation trails, wildlife corridors and enlarged environmental buffers protecting Turkey Creek and Econ River.
A complete community designed around a walkable, job-rich town center surrounded by a vibrant, exciting community—a place where people enjoy living, working and interacting with each other.
Future New Job Center for High Quality, High Tech Jobs: The Central Florida Research Park will develop its new research park at ICP, creating a new high-tech job center similar to the one by UCF.
New Interchange to Alleviate Traffic and Create More Transit Oriented Communities, including the completion of the long promised Interchange at Alafaya Trail and the 528/Beachline.

While there is a very vocal minority opposing this vision, please know that there are significantly more voters in East Orange County anxiously awaiting your vote to support this next step and to deliver on your promise of Innovation Way.

Thank you for taking leadership and continuing to improve our quality of life in Orange County.

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD – AGAIN!
