For the first time in 20 years the derelict old Webster Nursery
property in Osprey, Florida has been lit up for the holiday season.
Developer Henry Rodriguez and Osprey, FL activist Judy Johnson
coordinated the effort by volunteers who spent several days
placing Christmas trees and thousands of lights and figures on
the old site which had long been an eyesore. Mr. Rodriguez, who
successfully obtained a unanimous Sarasota County Commission vote to
rezone the property to make way for a new Wal-Mart said the
lights, "make a statement." According to Mr. Rodriguez, the
lights show that Osprey, Florida is not standing still and this former
eyesore can be made into something that Osprey will be proud of.
