Big Pine Key government community campus
The county wants to build a consolidated government center on Big Pine Key — community center, tax collector, building department, and the District 2 commissioner's office — replacing leased space that costs $100,000-$150,000 a year. The plan hinges on buying about an acre of surplus state Forestry Division land next to the hurricane-damaged county site.
