Board of Adjustment Regular Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed sand mine operation planned for an area in Highlands County. The applicant seeks a special exception use permit for this large-scale excavation project. The proposed site is currently in a predominantly rural area with agricultural uses, scattered homes, and conservation lands. The project is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. If approved, the project would involve significant site clearing and grading, excavation, and potentially construction of associated facilities. Contractors and suppliers involved in heavy construction, site preparation, and potentially environmental remediation could find opportunities. Reaching out to the applicant or relevant county departments early could provide insight into project timelines and needs before formal bidding processes begin.
