Industrial Expansion, Destroyed Fenceline and More



 A small piece of scrub north of the south tract's fence line has dramatically changed recently.

About 100 feet of fence has been heavily damaged as a result of the upturned scrub habitat that's in clear view toward the industrial plant on the other side of the rail spur that serves the property.

The owner is KSW LLC, a corporation registered  in Tampa, but based in Michigan, according to public records.

The most obvious question , which will be up to regulatory officials to answer, is whether there was any attempt to monitor the site for Sand Skinks, a federally protected species. before work began.

This is based on surveys on the site that revealed their presence on our side of the former fence line.

Meanwhile, the lock on a nearby gate was cut. FWC officials  have been notified.
