Everyone needs to read the blurb in this AM’s DS. Page A5
U.S. gives Florida wider authority.
Seems they gave the good old boy allies the go ahead and develop wetlands. Florida can now evaluate and give out their own permits under the clean water act! The question would be and should be, will developers look out for ecological protection, and home buyers, or their own pocketbooks?
Good thing there’s no basements.
Lot of posts saying the buyers should have known better. If they NEVER lived here before, why on earth would they think they were being suckered, or where they bought was a previous swamp?
14 years ago we moved here and for 3 years I drove to Winter Garden. On the turnpike across from the rest center, cattle would be ankle deep in water during the rainy season, that would indicate wetlands! Now there’s homes there. They are playing, now u see now u don’t. Cannot keep moving the water table around, something somewhere is going to revolt.
