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.

Density is why we love visiting European cities. The Florida GOP should let this play out - I think they’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results. Florida Republicans Are Fighting Gainesville’s Zoning Reform, and Themselves bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The next APA Florida Executive Director must be an experienced professional in areas such as fiscal management, association management, legislative affairs, and urban planning. This person needs to possess the leadership skills to lead a small staff that accomplishes big 1/4

Planners must explore how land-use regulations and codes can serve as barriers to food system businesses. Data has shown that most people want access to fresh food but our big urban county land-use codes don't mention agricultural uses to reflect those needs. @APAFlorida #FPC20

Fascinating & thought provoking piece in one of planning’s finest journals. Not sure I agree with the conclusion, but the piece has me thinking. @APA_Planning & @APAFlorida colleagues, take note. @AnnForsythPlan, thrilled to see you spearhead initiatives like these for #JAPA. – at Tallahassee, FL
