Who We Are
We are two concerned private citizens and residents of Citrus County. Like many of you, we have made this place our home and have invested our lives and our family's lives here. We are hosting this site because we feel that the full impact of the Suncoast Parkway is not being fully and truthfully presented to the people who live here -- the people who will be most affected by it.
The Florida Department of Transportation and Turnpike Enterprise have not adequately presented a clear case to build this tollway, and have either hidden or "re-packaged" many details to present a story which the facts do not uphold. Studies which should be done have not been done. Data which have been requested by concerned voices in the community have not been forth coming.
We feel that the people of Citrus County need complete and un-doctored facts in order to make informed decisions about this tollway.
The work that we have devoted here, we hope, will give you the facts and the motivation to take back control of what happens to you and your family in this County, in this special place we call the Nature Coast.

Hanh Vu moved to Homosassa after an itinerant 15 years through various cities in Florida to escape encroaching sprawl and its inevitable ill-effects. With each move, she feels more fervently the need for green space, tranquility, and a life away from the rat race.
Hanh has a masters in computer science from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton and telecommutes from her home as project manager for a global financial institution. Hanh is a believer in telecommuting as a powerful but under-utilized mode of employment which can bring valuable tax bases to underdeveloped areas without destroying their natural assets.
