4. Parity with the Harris Chain: We demand that Lake Okahumpka be treated with the same environmental
This agenda item is a demand for the State of Florida, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Sumter County, and the City of Wildwood to coordinate an inter-agency task force. The goal is to treat Lake Okahumpka with the same environmental priority and funding as the Harris Chain of Lakes. The demand is driven by concerns that the lake is becoming a stagnant marsh due to invasive vegetation and floating plant matter, making it unnavigable and degrading water quality. This situation is described as a crisis that could lead to economic loss, ecological collapse, and public safety hazards if not addressed. The item is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. If action is taken, it could involve site clearing and grading of invasive vegetation, potential dredging or muck removal, and ongoing water quality management. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers in environmental restoration, marine services, and heavy construction to engage with the involved agencies and understand potential future needs as plans develop.
