In May 2007, Lakeland officials communicated a number of questions and concerns regarding the impact that the Winter Haven intermodal facility might have on that community and specifically their downtown core. In early June, CSX representatives met with City, Chamber and Downtown representatives to further understand the issues at hand.
CSX Assistant Vice President for Business Unit Services, Rick Hood, has communicated the company’s initial response to these concerns. Each question or potential issue is presented in bold type and the CSX response follows. The document is available here.

The economic impact that CSX will have on our entire county far outweighs the negative impact on those of us that live in Lakeland.
Congratulations to those that have worked to pave the way for the employment and business opportunities that that CSX will provide.
