We are writing to remind everyone that the Alachua County Legislative Delegation Hearing is to be held on Wednesday, October 25th, 2023 at 1:30 p.m. The meeting will be held in the Joseph W. Fordyce Building (R-01) on the campus of Santa Fe State College at 3000 NW 83 Street in Gainesville. As always, we are grateful to the College for their hospitality.

Because the Legislative Session begins earlier this year, on January 9, 2024, deadlines for Legislative and Budget requests have been moved up, with the House deadline for submissions being November 14th. Accordingly, it is important for the Delegation to have filled out Appropriation Request forms for their review prior to the Hearing. Listed below are some important items of note –

The Alachua County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) will soon be reviewing proposals for the Lee Property. There are three upcoming meetings discussing this property and LWVAC encourages everyone to attend any and all of the meetings.
