Citrus County businessman Dixie Hollins has resigned from the Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Council.
In letters to those two agencies, Hollins, owner of Citrus Mining and Timber, and other business ventures around the county, would only say that he was resigning to focus on his business.
Dixie Hollins, who is half of the team that owns what is now called Hollinswood Harbor near Inglis, was instrumental in convincing county commissioners in 2009 to move forward with plans for the Port District. At that time, Hollins told commissioners that he appreciated the county's efforts at helping him, as well as individuals and county businessmen, in making the Port District a reality.
Since then, he served in leadership positions with the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce and with the county' Economic Development Council following the county's forced merger of some of the two agencies' functions, also in 2009.
