Growth should strengthen communities, not strain them. When development outpaces planning, the impacts can be felt through increased traffic, flooding concerns, crowded public spaces and pressure on local services. Vote No on Amendment 3: whatsatstakefl.org/

Florida is one of the fastest-growing states in the country. Smart planning helps communities keep up with that growth before it overwhelms roads, schools, hospitals and the places people call home. Vote No on Amendment 3: whatsatstakefl.org/

Parks and green spaces don’t stay great on their own; they take planning and funding. Amendment 3 puts that funding at risk, leaving parks, sports fields and community spaces overcrowded, outdated or under-maintained. Vote No on Amendment 3: whatsatstakefl.org/

Florida’s quality of life depends on smart planning, local funding and development standards that help our communities manage growth, protect public spaces, maintain infrastructure and preserve the natural resources. That’s why we oppose Amendment 3. whatsatstakefl.org/

Backed-up roads. Longer commutes. Delayed projects. Without reliable local funding for planning, the systems that keep Florida moving fall further behind and so do the first responders who rely on clear roads to reach us. Vote No on Amendment 3. whatsatstakefl.org/

Your neighborhood is on the line. Every day, more than 750 new residents move to Florida. Without reliable local funding, the planning that keeps neighborhoods livable (safe roads, cared-for parks, funded services) is at risk. Vote No on Amendment 3. whatsatstakefl.org/

MAKING NOISE WORKS ... keep making it! Here is the link to the survey: bit.ly/floridadeptackyparksp…. Share it with friends, colleagues, any Floridian who doesn't want our state parks destroyed. The week of Sept. 2 is during FPC so make sure you send in comments! #StopTackyParks
Due to the overwhelming interest with the 2024-25 Great Outdoors Initiative, DEP is looking for new venues to accommodate the public. We want to ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate. Public input is vital to DEP decision-making. To gather feedback on your favorite state parks, we’ve launched a dedicated webpage for more suggestions: survey.alchemer.com/s3/79831…. New meeting dates will be announced soon, with meetings expected the week of Sept. 2, 2024.
