BREAKING NEWS
Listen to the Lagoon
I am 156 miles long, winding, mysterious and full of life. I dance with the wind, I’m washed by the rain, and I provide food, shelter, and nursery to a complex web of life.
Thinking Lagoon Friendly
Part of creating a healthy community means that we need to work towards being more eco-friendly with our buildings and infrastructure. Not only is it better for the environment, it is also good for the economy and for your pockets.
Managing Growth Wisely
Because Florida is such an attractive place to work and play, growth and development are inevitable. However, growth and environmental stewardship do not have to be exclusive of one another.
