In TheLedger this morning:
PASSING THE TORCH
Today's Leaders Set Stage for Next Generation
(snipped/bbm))
Joe Rodman Sr. | 47 | president of Lakeland-based Rodman Development
The last 10 years have been full of change for Joe Rodman Sr. The former Lakeland Police Department officer left the force in 2004 to pursue his long-held interest in construction.
As a student, he took shop and industrial arts classes, but it wasn't until the building of his home that he decided to make the interest a career. He worked closely with the contractor, NuJak Construction, and with the encouragement of a contact at a local bank, he decided to earn his contractor's license. He received the license in January 2004.
'In the last 10 years, I've been able to put more focus on entrepreneurship and have been able to expand my horizons and use my God-given talents,' he said.
He worked at both LPD and his company, Rodman Development, for a while, but when the hurricanes of 2004 hit, he decided to focus solely on construction.
Today he does residential and commercial projects, grossing more than $500,000 a year. His biggest project thus far, he said, has been a police impound lot in Lakeland. He says he has finally found his true passion, something he loves so much that it doesn't feel like work.
'I can put in 12 hours here and it doesn't bother me. Time isn't a concern,' said Rodman, who also serves on the Lakeland Affordable Housing Advisory committee.
In the next 10 years, he says he'll focus more on developing investment properties. As for where his industry will be: 'I could see more affordable housing. As far as it relates to infrastructure, I think there will be expansions in that area as well.'
And the future of Polk County: 'In 10 years, I think we will have more educational opportunities for our high school graduates as far as higher learning. We will definitely be retaining more of our high school graduates at USF Poly and (Polk State College).'
ETA: Wondering if any others in the article have been mentioned in any of our research/postings?

Again, don't know if this contains anything useful, but here's a link to the article...

Just in case.
From the article:
"Chip Thullbery, administrative assistant state attorney, said his office has received an anonymous letter detailing accusations about mismanagement of federal and state grants by Nathaniel Birdsong, executive director of the CDC. One director, Charles Streeter, said he resigned over concerns about how Birdsong, who is also a Winter Haven city commissioner, is running the organization."
From my notes, Attorneys Title Center (Jodi Outlaw Mcclanahan) is a part of Samuda & Birdsong in Pembroke Pines, FL.
Cedric also resigned from the CDC; he was providing legal services. CDC is involved in affordable housing developments for the black community in Winter Haven. I bet Shakespeare & Associates was involved somehow. CDC partners with land developers and their receivership of federal/state grants.
