First Key Homes requested compliance extensions for newly built homes where fences were installed without separate permits, highlighting coordination issues during construction.
Residential Development
Palm Bay is getting a massive new 2,300-home neighborhood called Everlands West, which is going to shake up local traffic and crowd our roads. If you live in the area, expect some major growing pains and infrastructure updates to handle all the new residents.
