Whereas, the Seminole County Regional Chamber of Commerce (the "Chamber
of Commerce") has as its vision and as a significant part of its Strategic Plan the
promotion of economic development activities in the Seminole County region; and
Whereas, the Chamber of Commerce, in furtherance of its vision and Strategic
Plan to promote regional economic growth activities, has provided the initial investment
and funding for and brought together representatives from the Seminole County Board of
County Commissioners, Seminole County Port Authority ("SCOPA"), private business
and land owners, land developers, engineers, lawyers, the Orlando Sanford Airport, the
Economic Development Commission, the Cities of Oviedo, Sanford and Winter Springs,
the environmental community, the University of Central Florida, Seminole Community
College and the Florida High Tech Corridor Counsel, to establish the "SeminoleW A Y
Committee"; and
Whereas, the SeminoleWay Committee is a private/public initiative targeting
economic development along the Greeneway (State Road 417) from the Orange County /
Seminole County line through the Orlando Sanford Airport and SCOP A to Interstate 4

study is in the best interests of the economic growth and development for Winter Springs
and for the Seminole County region,

opportunity for the planned and intelligent economic growth and development for Winter
Springs and the Seminole County region; and

the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners that $350,000 of the money
