The report concludes that within 20 years the number of people visiting Florida will double to 80 Million, moreover, 2/3 of those visitors will arrive by air. This is going to create a burden on the state's airports and if something is not done to increase capacity this incredible growth could be stunted. But thats the bad news. The good news is obvious: More residents and thus increased property values!
Florida has long been a place where people come to visit and then say, you know I could really see myself living here. With more tourists come greater numbers of new residents. Ofcourse this comes as no surprise to me or any other Floridian for that matter. We didn't decide to live here becuase we have to, because it's the only place where we can do business...we decided to live here becuase there is no better place to do business than in paradise. And there are very few businesses in paradise that do as well as real estate...maybe bars? So this story brought a big smile to my face as it should to anyone who has or is going to have property in Florida.
So lets get on top of expanding these airports becuase the Florida Sunshine isn't going away and people are sick of freezing their butts off!!!
