Ms. Lopez:
Baptist Health is in support of Workforce Housing developments to keep our critical workforce living
and working in our community. Of particular impo►tance are nurses. police. firefighters. teachers and
emergency first responders. The cost of housing and related insurance and taxes has escalated to
where our Workforce cannot afford to five near their place of employment thus making recruiting
difficult
A development such as the Coconut Grove Metrdra8 Station has the potenttalto provide Workforce
Housing in an area dose to or with access to many local employers including Baptist Health Hospitals
such as South Miami Hospital and: Doctors Hosprbl_Keepi g our VVorkforce Irving and working in our
community will be in the best interest of al served
