Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

The Heart of Florida Landfill, operated by A.C.M.S., Inc., located at 835 County Road 529 in Lake Panasoffkee, is under review for proposed operations including the use of a new injection well for treated leachate disposal. The landfill is also reportedly planning to significantly increase waste intake via rail from Miami. The Tracy's Point Community Club, representing over 300 residents, has expressed concerns about environmental and public health issues, including odors and potential groundwater contamination from the injection well. This item is currently under review by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, following community concerns raised at local government meetings. The project involves potential site work, construction, and specialized utility installations related to waste management and environmental controls. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, grading, concrete, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and environmental services may find opportunities as plans develop. Engaging early before final bids and permits are issued could provide a competitive advantage.
