Cancelled - Acquisition And Restoration Council Regional Public Hearing

The safety and welfare of our employees and the public we serve are of top priority to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). DEP continues to take proactive measures and preventative actions to protect visitors, staff and volunteers as COVID-19 continues to be monitored.

Additionally, due to travel restrictions of state employees, DEP has cancelled the ARC public hearing scheduled on Monday, March 16, 2020 at 6 p.m. in the Town of Lake Placid, FL. Decisions on rescheduling will be made at a future date.
