Commissioners mentioned additional groups and organizations that should be included in <br />the planning process. <br />Donald Hart, Progressive Civic League, requested the Board revisit and move the GNP <br />forward. <br />Freddie Woolfork, Progressive Civic League, offered suggestions and encouraged staff <br />to ask the stakeholders once again, what they want for Gifford. He requested that in the planning <br />process of creating a Neighborhood Commercial Activity Center (NCAC) for Gifford, the <br />residential area be protected, and to reconsider where it should be built. He also asked that the <br />sidewalks west of 43rd Avenue to 58th Avenue be connected to ensure safety. <br />Commissioner Solari noted that one of the biggest challenges as the GNP is being <br />developed is to get young people involved in the process. <br />Marcie Nolan, Attorney with Becker & Poliakoff Law Offices, and certified planner, <br />encouraged staff to revisit previous data and encouraged the Board to decide how to best <br />preserve and enhance the industrial neighborhood and industrial node, while preserving the <br />residential area. <br />Wanda Mosley Scott, Mosley Family Groceries and Gifford Marketing Firm, wanted to <br />see growth and businesses return to the Gifford community, and felt that putting the Plan back on <br />the table was a good idea. <br />Benny Rhyant, Pastor and President of Indian River County Pastor Association, <br />supported the evaluation of the GNP, and thought it might be a challenge to get the necessary <br />people involved in the process. <br />Linda Morgan, concerned citizen and member of the Progressive Civic League, wanted <br />things to improve in the Gifford community. <br />BK 143 PG 861 <br />May 21, 2013 11 <br />
