Camp Challenge Property Acquisition

Summary

Easterseals/Camp Challenge wants to sell about 11 acres next to the Neighborhood Lakes trailhead and Mount Plymouth Lakes Reserve. Buying it would secure the reserve's boundary against ATV trespass, add trailhead parking, and connect Rock Springs Run and the Wekiva corridor — the committee agreed it was worth an appraisal.
