SSM Members near Lakeland??

Got a posting in the plant for 3 openings at the Lakeland HVC(parts depot). Peaked my interest.... So how's the cost of living especially price of housing and such. Don't know if I would get it as there are 10 plants signing for 3 positions and I only have 10yrs @ Ford.

Shoot,
Go for it. You'd be right between Central Florida and the Tampa Bay areas. 30 minutes to Orlando or Tampa from Lakeland. Housing prices are low comparatively. Property prices are going up and continue to be a good investment. No state income tax and relatively low property taxes. Of course the weather sucks*, but hey, you can't have everything.

Best luck,

*For drag racing that is!

Jake is right on the money. Throw away the snow shovel, grab your shorts and suntan lotion, your golf clubs and your sunglasses and come on down. You will be able to roller skate to MVIV, too. Dennis:beer: ps: IT IS A STRAIGHT SHOT DOWN I-75. Half the people in Florida are from Michigan including my father-in-law. One neighbor has his driveway painted in honor of the Steelers.

It may get cold there, but it will not snow. If it does, it will be in the record books.

BTW, can you post pics of this driveway???

:bump: Any updates?

:bump: Any updates?Too many unknow variables in relation to the move. Plus as I said before 10 plants signing up for 3 positions,I just don't have the seniority. Oh Well, I'll still be down for MVIV.

Thanx for the info. At least you could give it a shot and see what happens.
