Industrial growth along the CR 448 / Lake Lena corridor
A 3-2 board majority transmitted a rural-to-industrial change on 77 acres near Mount Dora, with neighbors warning of warehouses, heavy trucks, and a Live Local Act loophole that could allow high-density housing. The final adoption vote comes later and the chair hinted she may oppose it without a board-approved site plan.

Chronic flooding property buyouts
A four-inch rain in 40 minutes flooded homes and washed sediment off the active golf course subdivision. The county issued a stop-work order and brought in St. Johns water district; residents want guarantees on swales and grading before more houses go up.
