Stone holm Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 That was a question asked when the news release that the Church was going to build a city in Florida on its subsidiary owned cattle ranch in Florida. Comments?
bluebell Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 This is actually being discussed in the other forum and someone who seemed to have some knowledge on how the church utilizes it's investment land offered some good insight into everything. 1
rpn Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 This is a little over a third of the property that the Church owns in Central Florida. It abuts Orlando and will be developed at some point (while the more remote property is expected to remain agriculture, mostly beef. The acreage is twice the size of Orlando. Like any responsible property owner with the foresight and resources to do so, the Church is planning and preparing for the day when it will be developed by getting the overall state and local approvals for a coordinated plan for all the area. The alternative is piecemeal development which is generally much worse for a region. And the alternative is development that does not protect the right for the remainder to be agriculture. And the alternative would prevent it from being included in regional transportation planning efforts, and the increasingly urgent water rights discussion that has been going on nearby and involves part of the property directly. Yes, this is a particularly favorable regulatory climate for the master plan development in Florida. I suspect that the church will not be the primary developer but will sell to other developers with protective covenants over the next 30-50 years. The land is going to be developed by someone. 1

KevinG Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 It can't be Zion. There are no plans for a shopping mall.
rpn Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 And, yes, the plans do include shopping and business districts ---- four of them.
Stone holm Posted July 14, 2015 Author Posted July 14, 2015 Wifey asked, "Why wouldn't they swap it for land in Missouri?" Me: "Well, I....can't make any money in Zion. Needed to go into the spacious building I guess."

longview Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Who would they be swapping land with?Anybody living in Missouri would LOVE to end up in Florida. Easy deal!

mnn727 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 So Has The Location Of Zion Been Moved To Florida? Yes, didn't they read the official letter over the pulpit in your Ward?Central Florida will now be home to not only The Magic Kingdom© but The Celestial Kingdom also.
Gray Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I think Zion should be moved to the Pacific Northwest. The climate is much more agreeable than either Missoura or Florida

Gray Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Yeah, but when the giant earthquake hits it'll be a logistical nightmare. I say we retreat to the forests and build Ewok-like houses!
bluebell Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I say we retreat to the forests and build Ewok-like houses!I can get behind that. We need to convert the Treehouse Master guy first though. 1

VideoGameJunkie Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Florida is going to be under water in 50 years so the church better not build a city there.

So, does this mean that as long as its waterproof, I can get by with a 3-season tent instead of a 4-season one?
mnn727 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 So, does this mean that as long as its waterproof, I can get by with a 3-season tent instead of a 4-season one?In Central FL a 2 season tent will do it. "Hot and Not"

MorningStar Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I think Zion should be moved to the Pacific Northwest. The climate is much more agreeable than either Missoura or FloridaThat would be easier for me, although we're supposed to have "The Big One" and we're all going to die.
Garden Girl Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 That would be easier for me, although we're supposed to have "The Big One" and we're all going to die. Yes, my little cottage (one half block to the beach) will drop into the ocean and Utahans will have oceanfront property... GG
