    yeah, I was reading about this yesterday and just sighing with disappointment.

    They are trying to add a “wedding pavillion” concession stand at Honeymoon Island State Park as well.

    Seriously, what do we need to do to help keep this from happening?

    My hand rushed to my mouth to muffle an “Oh my God!” as I read that. Who do I start writing too? Calling?

    I emailed my county comissioner at
    rstewart@pinellascounty.org
    but I am new to the county and don’t really know them. Will this be put on the agenda for a future county meeting?

    I went ahead and copied all the commissioners on the email and I will follow up with calls today to see if this will be discussed in a public meeting.

    They paved paradise to put up a parking lot.

  9. Editengine Says:

    who is going to pay for this anyway? will the developer get the county to cosign for his lending? remember that Tampa is still paying for the failure of Centro Ybor.
