Massive Sugar Hill development proposed across Palm Beach...

I guess that this is inevitable. I remember during the Hometown Democracy/Amendment 4 time, a few years ago, maps were produced which showed the affect of sprawl development along State Road 80 in the middle of the state. This is consistent with those maps and is right over the Palm Beach County line into Hendry County. The thought was, had Amendment 4 passed, development would seek out areas with little or no entrenched opposition, and therefore would direct future investment to areas like these around the state. With Governor Scott in office, we have since seen the dismantling of the state's role in reviewing Comprehensive Plan changes and now projects are reviewed through the Department of Economic Opportunity when they are at this scale.
