Treasure Trove
Description
A 55-acre, three-parcel property with an asking price of $5 million was offered to the public lands acquisition program. The committee voted to decline moving it forward for appraisal.
Impact summary
The County Commission denied it on Oct 15, 2026.
Neighbors say the land absorbs stormwater for a corridor seeing 2,000 homes under construction and hosts bald eagles, wood storks, and black bears — but it won't be conserved through this program.
