IIRC it was just R Elya Svei telling Simon Glick not to

as far as Lakewood opening new places, very hard to find the interest
As R Shmuel Lefkowitz (in)famously said his piece about pioneering ( https://nj1015.com/is-orthodox-rabbi-pushing-blockbusting-jackson-wants-investigation-watch )
There was a push to make Mddleburg NY work with a yeshiva, never went anywhere, Vineland they are still dreaming about, Egg Harbor Twp they even had a Kollel travel there
There is now a Yeshiva in Hamilton NJ with dreams of a community
Hazelton PA was a spot they tried numerous times
Florida at least has vouchers... but so does South Bend and they advertise and get nothing
Sometimes it's all about momentum.

Do you know Rabbi Yisroel Taussig?
I sat with him and his wife for an hour and half, they seemed very nice, but I would love to hear what type of people they are, are they liked in their shul?
Pm's welcome!

I only know Shloime, we went to Yeshiva together.

It’s difficult to create your own “matzav” within an existing community especially if you came at their invite.

Secondly, because Pasco counties population is at around 500,000 and they have a dream of having 10 million within the next 10 years, and 50% of the residents should be working within the county, hence, they are very accommodating and helping out with what they can, to make this a reality.

Pasco County does have a Chabad house. The shliach down there called it red neck country back in the day.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

The Tampa shliach the S. Pete Shliach or the Pasco shliach?

There are several Shluchim I know in the area. A few are personal friends.

Sounds very interesting! Thanks for the update! Please post more info as you get them.
Whether it works or not is to be seen but I love seeing people trying to get out of the Sodomite NYC. About time

Sounds interesting, but why start something new so far away from south Miami where there is already a large jewish infrastructure, wouldn't it be easier to just work around and near whats already built up?

I'm sure real estate is cheaper further away from Miami.

Sounds like the county here really wants them + Miami has a clown govt + Constiction cost, taxes & regulations are outrageous.  +
I'm sure real estate is cheaper further away from Miami.

Curious if it's also to keep things separate?

A few years back, someone tried building a community off of Ives Dairy in Aventura. The expenses were too great, and it's harder to draw people into a new place when there are so many other options nearby.

There are many benefits to building a chassidishe community far from South FL, but the biggest one is spiritual. It's not easy to keep a community from being exposed to "unholy influences" down here. If you're trying to build a somewhat insular frum kehillah, Pasco is probably a safer bet.

Not that it would make a difference as this community will not happen regardless, but to me geographically, DeSoto County makes more sense. It's easier to keep things insular when an area is less populated.

People need to make money, too. Gotta have a balance.

I don't understand why anyone would rush to give a deposit. What do you lose by not giving one and only putting down money once there are enough people? It's not like you'll lose your chance.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I also heard these stuff but with zero information, which makes me question is it true or not.
Either case I'm leaning more and more towards waiting a few months and see what happens, as I probably got nothing to lose and everything to gain
