Board of Adjustment Regular Meeting · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed mining use in Highlands County. The applicant plans to develop a site that must follow all Highlands County Land Development Regulations and Comprehensive Plan rules, as well as Florida Statutes. Permits will be needed from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the Southwest Florida Water Management District, and the Highlands County Engineering Department. This proposal is currently under review. The project will involve site preparation, extraction, and land reclamation activities. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as heavy construction, site clearing and grading, and environmental services could find opportunities. Engaging early, before final permits and plans are set, may offer a competitive advantage.
