The Alachua County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) recently heard an initial request for a large-scale development on 4000+ acres known as the Lee Property. LWVAC is asking the BoCC to reject this initial request, called a Special Area Study, until all efforts to secure funding for preserving the entire property are exhausted. If no effort is made to secure this funding, then LWVAC will oppose the project.

Action Alerts

SB 10 and SB 4 will improve Connecticut’s air quality by requiring cleaner energy generation and expanding the use of electric vehicles. Cleaner air improves human health, protects the environment, and contributes to the reversal of climate change. What you can do: Email or call the Senate Leadership, Senators Looney and Duff today and ask them to bring the bills to the floor for a vote. There are fewer than 20 days left to the legislative session.
