ILR seeks to reach all residents of north central Florida and to make its location on the web (i.e., its “name”) as short and as easy to remember as possible. Although the area code 352 doesn’t perfectly match our target area, it does cover the overwhelming majority of it. Regardless, anyone of retirement age who is interested in ILR is welcome.
