Immokalee has had a substantial growth since the 1800's when it used to be home to the Seminole Indian community. It received its first Regional Airport, which was an Old Bomer Training Base. Then, they had the discovery of oil, which changed the society completely. Immokalee has come a long way since the pioneer age. Immokalee is known for their agriculture and farming. It has braught a lot to their community as far as being developed. It now has a Seminole Casino as well, which did a lot for the society to bring in tourists. In my opinion, Immokalee is a representative of the "old" American Dream because of its history. I still argue that there is no "new" American Dream because it isn't dead, it has just changed.
Compared to where I grew up in Loxahatchee, Florida, it is very similar to Immokalee's community. Loxahatchee had a lot of land and less buildings like Immokalee does until Loxahatchee started to become more developed, which is why my family and I moved away from our hometown to Punta Gorda. Something Immokalee could use to help drive Immokalee's future is a Shopping Mall. Malls attract plenty of people and could really help Immokalee's society. In 10 years, I think Immokalee will be even more developed than it has already gotten since the 1800's. It will have more attraction and will make more profit off of its agriculture and farming.
