We have, yet again, done our part to improve Orange City. A huge thank you to all of you who wrote or called County Council members in support of Orange City’s Community Redevelopment Area (CRA). At the meeting on June 19, they passed a resolution to go forward with it. Nineteen people spoke in favor of the Orange City CRA, and although the County lawyer and Council Member Pat Northey tried hard to find things wrong with wording in the resolution, they voted—6 to 1 in favor. Yes indeed, even Pat Northey and Pat Patterson voted for it. How about that??!!! Participation counts!! Author Joan LaFleur
