from development in that area. He said that would cause an economic ripple but that a
real estate tax would diversify the city's financial portfolio. Poe said that she is afraid
that having the industry will "pull us into having a real estate tax." Commissioner

fruit initially.

Riverside is at the bottom of storm water run off for the entire county. A Northland
