To the Editor:

There are many that are dissatisfied with all the new development. But I am not.

I have been living in Marion Oaks for 2.5 years and have to spend a lot of time grocery shopping on State Road 200, 20-25 minutes one way.

Marion Oaks has many many new homes and lots of new families. Plenty of land for development. I believe more stores should be built inside Marion Oaks.

We even need a diner, a post office, a real gym, another Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts and a Publix.

There’s plenty of room for all that. We really need it.

We can also use a major facelift in the Marion Oaks Community Center. The exercise equipment needs to be replaced with advanced machinery.
