Gainesville is getting new development on the west-side, but probably not nearly as much as in some of the bigger cities.

Those cities are actually on a slight population loss pattern. Maybe 10 years ago they might of still been growing that quickly. |

I need all the help I can get! They all have to be in Florida so it's easy for me to visit each location and Florida is where the company headquarters is located.
So...to all the Floridians out there....any suggestions on any towns?
South Florida is out by the way, we already have a couple there.
I'm currently in NC running a shop here, will be going to St. Augustine in December to decide the next 3 locations.
All your opinions are needed and very welcome!

Orange county - Hunter Creek area - lots of building & major stores going in. Worth taking a look. Big growth also down toward Poinciana (Osceola county)but you can service that from hunters creek area & Kissimmee.
