With the high-speed rail project denied by Governor Rick Scott and the FL Supreme Court also denying the lawsuit to try to stop Governor Scott, Polk City's anticipated growth as a result of the high-speed rail project also goes up in smoke. With the Poly-tech campus planned to go in on the parcel of property on the other side of I-4 near the city limits of both Auburndale and Polk City, there was quite a bit of discussion that one of the rail stops would be placed near the campus. This could have potentially brought in quite a bit of traffic to this area.
