Miami-Dade To Update Land Use Plan - Hold The Line Gears Up!

For the past six years, Clean Water Action has coordinated a diverse coalition called Hold the Line (HTL) whose mission is to ensure that development does not take place outside of the Urban Development Boundary (UDB).

Every seven years, Miami-Dade updates its Comprehensive Land-Use Plan officially thru the process known as the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR). The plan takes a comprehensive look at current vacant and developed land and forecasts population and development trends for the future. This large scale mapping project also designates what land can be used for commercial, agricultural, and residential use and looks at the impact it has on schools, transportation, water supply, and economic conditions.

Clean Water Action Victory For The Future of The Everglades

For the past two years, Clean Water Action has been part of a coalition working to get the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to purchase critical lands which would help with Everglades restoration and improve south Florida's water quality.

On August 12th the SFWMD made a landmark decision to purchase 26,800 acres of land which would help restore America's Everglades.

The land being purchased is sugar and citrus fields that will eventually be taken out of production and used for the pre-treatment and the storage of clean water. The money for this purchase was already earmarked by SFWMD so this is no taxpayer burden.
