Loxahatchee Groves Council Considers New Fee Structure for Building Permits
Concerns over the proposed RV park dominated the Town of Loxahatchee Groves' recent budget meeting, with residents expressing skepticism about its viability and potential impact on the community. One resident voiced doubts about the park's success, citing a visit to a nearby high-end RV resort that struggled to fill its sites. "I don't see it lasting very long," they stated, emphasizing that the area lacks attractions to draw visitors, especially compared to popular destinations like Disney.

The discussion highlighted broader frustrations regarding commercial development in the town. Residents criticized the inconsistency in community desires, pointing out that while many oppose commercial projects, they simultaneously call for amenities like amphitheaters and riding rings, all while expressing concerns about rising taxes.

Another pressing issue raised was the ongoing problems with a neighbor on Hyde Park, where reports of animal cruelty and illegal activities have gone unaddressed. The resident lamented the lack of action from the town despite repeated promises, stating, "We keep getting promises of action, but none is ever taken."

Additionally, concerns were raised about the Florida Power and Light (FPL) underground project, with residents filing complaints to ensure accountability. One resident warned that funds allocated for the project could be redirected to other municipalities, stressing the need for the council to prioritize the completion of the project.

As the council navigates these complex issues, residents are left hoping for effective solutions that will enhance the community while addressing their concerns about development and enforcement.
