Florida is the fastest-growing state in the U.S. for the first time in 65 years, with a 1.9% population increase. This growth is driven by people moving for tax benefits and retirement. The Tampa Bay area, particularly Polk and Hillsborough counties, is experiencing significant growth, leading to challenges in transportation and infrastructure.
