Meeting Friday, February 1, the Board of Directors for the East Polk Committee of 100 unanimously approved the following resolution:

The East Polk County Committee of 100 is an advocate of high quality economic development in East Polk County, Florida. Our Board of Directors of the EPC 100 endorses the proposed CSX Integrated Logistics Center (ILC) as a high quality economic development project. We encourage our legislative delegation and other concerned governmental bodies to complete the necessary infrastructure improvement required to make this proposed ILC as well as any and all future phases of this project, a model of high quality economic development to benefit all of Central Florida.

The EPC 100 joins the Central Florida Development Council, Greater Winter Haven Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Winter Haven who have also passed resolutions of support. The proposed 318 acres facility will serve to distribute containerized consumer goods and automobiles. The project is currently undergoing a “Development of Regional Impact” (DRI) review.
