Waterside Phase I Restoration
Description
A 240-acre citrus grove site where roughly 63 acres would be excavated 13 feet deep, filled back with yard waste and compost, and restored as open space — which opponents insist is really a mine-and-landfill operation.
Impact summary
Residents of nearby Prairie Creek Park opposed the project over rural character, truck traffic and environmental concerns.
