Commission picks "first image" for Train Depot flooring after split votes

Jun 8, 2026

After debate and several roll-call votes, the commission selected the first flooring image for the Wauchula Train Depot; an earlier motion to adopt a different "smooth floor" image failed before the majority later approved the first-image option.

The full story

Krystin Chapman, president of the Hardee County Chamber, presented proposed flooring images for the Wauchula Train Depot and answered commission questions. Commissioner Sherri Albritton moved to keep the existing floor and make targeted repairs; Mayor Pro Tem Russell Smith and Commissioner Gary Smith supported a separate "smooth image" option. That first motion failed on roll call (A. Miller no; R. Smith yes; Nadaskay no; G. Smith yes; S. Albritton no).
