Dear Alachua County Commissioners,
I’m writing to express deep concern about the proposed housing development bordering Payne’s Prairie State Park. As a Florida resident, I care about protecting this unique and irreplaceable ecosystem - not just for Alachua County, but for all Floridians. Payne’s Prairie is a critical natural habitat, a vital floodplain, and a treasure of historical and environmental significance. Allowing dense development at its edge threatens water quality, wildlife corridors, and the very character of this protected space. Please uphold smart, sustainable planning and reject this proposal.
Thank you for listening.
