Osceola County, Florida – Osceola County District 1 Commissioner Michael Harford, along with County Manager Michael Freilinger and Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) Director Tom Lang, met with business owners recently to discuss short-term and long-term opportunities specific to the West 192 area.

"My concern for our smaller local businesses along the US 192 corridor during this period of economic distress demands a different approach to this challenge,” said Commissioner Harford. “I am encouraging our smaller local businesses to organize and provide a consistent voice of the concerns they have to the Commission and Tourism Advisory Board. When organized, the group will provide additional information that will not only apply today, but also provide a foundation for future growth of our tourism corridor. I look forward to the strengthening of this vital corridor and its impact on the economic health of our county.”
