Florida City ready for next housing boom
Florida City Mayor Otis T. Wallace knows that the housing boom is deflated.
But it will be back, and Florida City hopes to be ready with thousands of acres as one of last communities in South Florida to have so much land available.
So far, about 2,500 acres have been annexed and the city is going after another 2,200 acres or more, according to City Planner Henry Iler.
