Support is growing in Hillsborough County for tighter growth controls. Since the Supreme Court decision in regards to land surrounding Lake Tahoe, Calif., officials in Hillsborough County have been looking at a possible moratorium for large water users. Some people, such as Joseph Narkiewicz, executive vice president of the Builders Association of Greater Tampa, feels that any sort of moratorium would not be good. "That is an extremely drastic step that should be thoroughly discussed and thoroughly considered to balance all consequences," said Narkiewicz.
