Comments from Employers<br />
Suncoast Hospice: “…People are tired of <strong>Pinellas</strong><br />
County Traffic…” and “…Employees & volunteers from<br />
St. Pete cannot assist the North County facility<br />
because they cannot get to work without good transit<br />
access…”<br />
HSN: “…We spend more than 3 million a year to<br />
relocate top trained employees. These employees<br />
place a high value on quality of life; light rail would<br />
attract these skilled employees…”
