FTR members,
I recieved a call from the commissioners office in Hillsborough County about a possibile OHV park. Hillsborough County, district 4 hasn't set any expectations of this park, but are simply trying to gauge the citizen interest in such a park.Here's everyones chance to support the interest, you don't have to leave your house, just simply email your thoughts and why Florida needs an oppertunity as this and why you would support it. They want to hear how many of us would support it. Keep your emails positive and to the point, no negativity.
Email to the parks department director Mark Thorton at:
ThorntonM@HillsboroughCounty.org
and commissioner Al Higginbotham at:
HigginbothamA@HillboroughCounty.org


Just came across this today. This could be great for Central Florida!!

I started this approx 2 years ago after meeting with state and local parks dept folks. I reapproached them again a few months ago after the budget issues have started to settle down and sent them to contact the FTR Assoc. Here is the latest email I have and it doesn't look good as we don't seem to have people wanting to get involved.

"We asked Mark Thornton with Parks & Rec to look into it. We also contacted an organization, Florida Trail Riders I think, and asked them to email in their thoughts on it. The main stumbling block we have is that we have not received much citizen input. The Trailriders group has sent in two emails at most. If you can drum up support, have them send emails to HigginbothamA@HillsboroughCounty.org and ThorntonM@HillsboroughCounty.org.
 
It's going to be tough in the budget situation the way it is, but we need citizen support before we could really do anything.

Please Make sure to email them as Hillsborough County has one of the highest registrations in the state for ORV's so we need the support! Anyone can contact me directly at sconnors@tampabay.rr.com or (813)495-7223.
