BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:

City leaders held a critical vote on a new park and affordable housing in the Northeast and discussed legislative items as we’re halfway through session in Florida.

Rezoning for the Northeast Park is the reason for a sign along Centerville Road near Killimore Lane.

It’s to let neighbors know about a zoning change that is coming to their area with the development of the Northeast Park.

City leaders voted to move forward with the change Wednesday.

The space would be changed to an open space zoning designation to allow this multi-million dollar facility.

The park will feature softball, baseball and soccer fields, as well as volleyball and pickleball courts.
