One thing was clear from Wednesday's County Commission meeting: our residents are worried about how more development will affect our infrastructure. And they’re right to be concerned. 

Last Week the Monroe County Board of Commissioners held a special ROGO workshop where they brought in utility and school department heads to discuss whether our current infrastructure can handle additional development.

At the April BOCC meeting the topic came up regarding creative ways to use TDC funds going forward. 40% of all TDC funds collected must go towards promoting tourism in the Florida Keys, and the 3rd and 4th pennies are reserved for DAC projects, and brick & mortar spaces, such as parks, museums and public facilities.
