Over the weekend, St. Augustine Mayor, Nancy Sikes-Kline signaled opposition to Governor Ron DeSantis’ Anastasia State Park development plans. This morning, with November elections looming, and Sunday’s citizen park protest still fresh, the St. Johns County Commission joined the mayor in calling for local review before the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) follows through with DeSantis’ plan to introduce a hotels, golf and pickleball into the pristine grounds of Anastasia State Park and eight other state parks across Florida.
As of this writing, FDEP has not announced new dates for citizen hearings on the park plans that were scheduled for tomorrow, and quickly cancelled in the face of growing opposition to the park plans.
St. Augustine’s Anastasia State Park is one of nine state parks FDEP identified for development last week under Governor DeSantis’ Great Outdoors Initiative.
This is what you get voting gop . Destroying parks , and hurting wild life and happy that it makes other Americans upset. Spraying chemicals all over a park and putting up a gross building. I hope the hotels that spent millions on their places at the beach like the state using tax payers money to compete with them.
