In 2003, Princeton and two other neighborhoods formed a coalition studying incorporation: Princeton, Leisure City and Narranja together created the PLANT Municipal Advisory Committee.  Both Princeton and Goulds are negotiating boundaries with the Redland MAC, an issue which must be resolved before they are recognized by the County or State (Piedra, Dec. 15, 2005).  In 2003, led by District 8 County Commission Sorenson, professional planners guided Princeton area residents in recognizing the potential community benefits of development (Princeton Citizens’ Charrette Area Plan, 2003).  The exchange between professional planners and concerned residents yielded the following points of concern, creating a town center focusing on the Busway station at SW 248 street and US1, employment opportunities, connecting existing neighborhoods and providing a destinations for travelers to reach near the Busway.  Area residents recognize the importance of marking the edge of the Urban Development Boundary so that it remains fixed to one location.  Officials believe the boundaries of PLANT will dissolve as the MAC better understands incorporation and, when they do, Princeton’s boundaries will become more strongly defined (Ford, 2006 / Spear, 2006).
