Of course they are going to build a convention center. It is called long range planning. First you get control of the City Council, then you get the City to overbuild a water/sewer system, then you get streetlights every 20 feet on Collier Blvd., then a 4 lane bridge over the Marco River, then a super bridge over Smokehouse, now you only need to get rid of some pesky neighbors. Anyone who has doubts only needs to try and remember what this Island had going for it 15 years ago, then look at it today: from the Esplanade to Cape Marco, it will be developed into Miami West and Deltona's vision will be long forgotten.
