NO GOLF COURSE IN JD PARK!
To: Gov. Desantis
From: A verified voter in Hobe Sound, FL
August 25
There is a plan coming from your Florida Dept of Environmental Protection to put a golf course and pickleball courts in Johnathan Dickinson State Park. Your administration has done some really awful things. Do you really want to add one more disgrace to the list? Do you have no shame? Would you sell off state preserve land to a developer for a golf course? Does Florida need another golf course? Does Martin County need another golf course? Less than 10% of Americans play golf. We need more quiet wild spaces. We need wildlife to have a place in the world. We need fewer money-grubbing land developers taking over land that doesn’t belong to them. I live about 10 miles north of JD Park in Hobe Sound. In Martin County we take pride in our strong preservation ethic. LEAVE JD PARK ALONE! Keep your developers out.
