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
You are right on! That’s why we need to have the same people that spoke out against the Grand Oaks expansion to speak out against the proposed Harbor Hills expansion. This will negatively impact sensitive wetlands near Lake Griffin and impact the same neighborhoods as the Grand Oaks proposal.
There was a hearing scheduled for the HH proposal but it has been postponed. I’m sure they’ll make another run at it. I believe it was adding several hundred more homesites.
