If you want more info Lake County Conservation Council members work hard to keep land in conservation status. There are always areas of concern in Lake County
Funny how not concerned around villages. Grand oaks pretty far away from lady lake. Didn’t mind all development up 466. Same thing goes on in Marion county. One developer can expand while another can’t build on land they brought.
