reuse buildings that are empty instead of using up land that really doesn’t need to be touched. There is that old bank that hasn’t been used for years, the lot of an old circle next to McDonald, Babcock building are some places and their other ones throughout plant city. I also heard that big lots is closing its doors too. This is the problem now a days is no one wants to reuse just build and build.
