 1   Conservation Initiatives / Everglades Coalition / SFWMD Governing Board Approves Amended Restated Agreement to Purchase Land  on: August 13, 2010, 08:51:10 AM 
Started by Joan B | Last post by Joan B
"August 2010: In light of continued economic impacts, a decline in District revenues and the need to address recent federal court orders related to Everglades restoration, the Governing Board approved on August 12, 2010, a second amended and restated agreement for purchase and sale of land from the U.S. Sugar Corporation. Under the modified purchase, the District will utilize $197 million in cash on-hand to take ownership of 26,800 acres of strategically located land with high restoration potential while preserving the option to acquire 153,200 acres of additional lands, if future economic conditions allow."

The full text is available on sfwmd.gov/riverofgrass look for the Amended and Restated Agreement

EvCo agrees that this purchase needs to be made. 

Also announced today was the agreement of ACE and the District to go forward with the C44 reservoir and STA which has been part of the Indian River Lagoon plan.
