CSX rail hub in Lakeland / Winter Haven, FL, a game changer?

I just recently listened to the Jonathan Twombly podcast (#172) and at the end he mentions the value of logistics centers to real estate value in which "the mode of transport changes from one form to another." It creates heaps of jobs and housing demand. 

The inland logistics port in Winter Haven (Polk County) just opened in 2014 and is close to St. Petersburg, Tampa, Lakeland, and Orlando. To those that are in the area, has this been the juggernaut it seems to be? Has the market already adjusted and it's too late to come to this party? I am curious to know the opinions of the veteran investors in the area. I don't live in the area yet, but this seems like a huge deal.
