Inglis Mayor Drinda Merritt asked at the November 3 commission meeting and got

approval to start talks with Duke Energy on the annexation into the Town of Inglis two of

Duke Energy's local properties. On her request is Duke's acreage bought north of Inglis for

their nuclear power plant project and the enclave property in Inglis where the old Florida

Power Inglis Steam plant use to be now a line training school of Duke Energy on Hwy 40

west of town hall. Merritt explained she had made contact with Duke Energy at the North

Florida Economic Development Partnership and started the possibility of resuming the talks

on this plan she presented in the past but did not fly. Merritt stated that Inglis would receive

$23,000 tax revenue a year annexing the enclave but in the past a zoning change from coun-

ty to the town did not sit well with many and talks stopped. Merritt said Duke was moving

ahead with the prospects of a nuclear project on the property north of Inglis even though the

current administration in Washington was not for nuclear, hoping that a change in attitude

would come with future elections even though it is looking at 20 years before start. Merritt

feels moving the property from Levy County control and under Inglis would greatly benefit

the town in more ways than tax revenue, stating Citrus County lost $19 million with the loss

of the nuclear plant. She also said it would benefit our fire department, law enforcement,
